Voting for June 7th Primary

Voters in North Carolina now have access to an online voter guide for the June 7 primary. The eleven-page guide prepared by the State Board of Elections is designed to inform voters of key election dates, primary candidates for N.C. Supreme Court, voter ID requirements and exceptions. The guide contains statements and information about four candidates competing in a primary for associate justice on the N.C. Supreme Court. Filing for that office opened in March after a court struck down a retention election process that had been available to sitting justices. Several pages contain information on voter ID requirements and exceptions. Additional information is available online: VoterID.nc.gov. With 14 days remaining until the June 7 primary, there are some important dates to keep in mind.
