Voting Begins Shortly in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, N.C.— It is dark outside a polling place in the capital of North Carolina as Super Tuesday is here. What appeared to be poll workers put out a couple of signs outside the polling place at Southview Recreation Center, which is in a Democrat district.

The biggest races in the Tar Heel State are for governor, attorney general, and Congress with the last one consisting of newly gerrymandered districts.

Polls open at 6:30 a.m. ET.

Early Voting Turnout Low in Virginia

LEESBURG, Va.—While statewide data isn’t available yet, Loudoun County in northern Virginia has released its turnout of a 45-day early voting period: less than 4 percent. In comparison, the overall early voting for the statewide election last year was over 13 percent.

In Loudoun County, which represents about 5 percent of all registered voters in Virginia, over 5,200 people have voted in the Republican primary. Virginia has an open primary, meaning registered voters of any party affiliation can vote in any primary, although they can only vote in one race.

Polls open at 6 a.m. ET and close at 7 p.m. ET today. Virginia had 6,178,219 registered voters as of Jan. 1, 2024. This year’s primary is the first Virginia presidential primary since former Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam signed the 45-day early voting into law.

Virginia assigns its total 45 delegates on a pro-rated basis; 12 are based on state-wide results and 33 based on results in 11 congressional districts at 3 each.
