ORANGE COUNTY – One-stop early voting ended its first full week with by far the highest totals yet, but still isn’t getting a strong turnout.

On Friday, 147 people cast their ballots. The Seymour Senior Center remains the most popular location; 81 voters cast their ballot on Friday.

A total of 779 people have voted in Orange County for the Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough municipal elections and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education. However, WCHL reported last week that just more than 4,000 people participated in the 2011 early voting period.

This is the final week for early voting in Orange County. The polls will also be open on Saturday.
