Saturday is last day to vote early in the 2024 Primary

Early voters may want to grab their umbrellas on Saturday to prepare themselves to stand in line for the last day of early voting for the 2024 Primary.

Thirteen Early Voting sites will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Any voter in line by 3 p.m. will be able to cast their ballot. All voters will be asked to show an acceptable ID prior to receiving their Primary ballot.

The Early Voting period is also the last chance for voters to register to vote or update their address. Same-day registration information can be found on WakeVotesEarly.com.

“Sites tend to get busy on the last day of Early Voting, so check our wait time tracker at ReadyToVote.com to see where lines are shortest,” said Wake County Board of Elections Director Olivia McCall.

Voters will still have an opportunity to vote on Election Day, March 5, in their home precinct if they miss the Early Voting period. Election Day polling places will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.

The deadline to return a civilian absentee ballot is 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. Absentee ballots must be delivered to the Wake County Board of Elections office at 1200 N. New Hope Rd. in Raleigh or received by mail prior to the deadline.

In a partisan primary, voters affiliated with a political party may only vote their party’s ballot and may not vote in another party’s primary. This remains true even if the party you are affiliated with does not have a primary in 2024, such as the No Labels Party and the Green Party. Unaffiliated voters will be able to choose either a Democratic, Republican or Libertarian primary ballot. Voters can view the candidate lists and see sample ballots at WakeGov.upcomingelection.
