At this point, the best thing you can do is to go vote early in person if you’re physically able. But in case you need it, here’s a detailed walkthrough of what you can do if you requested a mail-in ballot this year.
We’re still 18 days out from Election Day, and nearly a quarter of a million ballots have already been cast– a 25% increase from this point during the 2022 midterms.
The President came to North Carolina this week to campaign for Michael Whatley– the failed Hurricane Helene Recovery Czar who is now running for U.S. Senate.

One of the most important things you do this year, one of the greatest acts of resistance, could simply be casting your ballot. Your first chance is in the March 3 primary. Early voting is already under way. Check your registration, and if you need to update it, you can do so in-person during early voting.
