Election 2008: North Carolina Update

The race is on! Campaign season in North Carolina is underway. This week candidates will be flocking to the State Board of Elections to file their intent to run for office. These candidates will come with papers, family members and lots of cameras clicking to record the moment. We wish them all well.

So, while they are doing there part, it is time for you the reader to do your part. If you have not already registered to vote we encourage you to register today. You can download the necessary forms at the State Board of Elections website.

And what about our state’s primary? Good question. In the last few national primaries both the Democratic and Republican nominee for President has been settled way before our state primary happens. Not so this year. This year North Carolina may hold the necessary votes to lock up a solid victory for the candidates. It’s time to get ready! Our state will hold its primary on May 6th.

What if I am an independent can I vote in our state primary? Yes you can! If you are registered in our state as unaffiliated you can vote in the primary. You declare your intention to vote Democrat or Republican when you arrive at the polls on primary day.
