For those who didn’t take advantage of the two-week early voting period, there’s one day left to cast a ballot.

North Carolina’s Primary Election is Tuesday, May 17. Polling places (precincts) will be open locally and across the state from 6:30 am – 7:30 pm.

Results will be posted on the News-Herald’s website (www.roanoke-chowannewsherald.com) as they become available after the polls close on Tuesday.

During a Primary Election, candidates are seeking to represent their political party in November’s General Election. The Primary will narrow the field of candidates who have filed for the following federal and state seats:

US Senate

US House of Representatives

NC Supreme Court

NC Court of Appeals

NC Senate

NC House of Representatives

District Attorney

Additionally, there are candidates seeking votes at the local level, to include County Commissioner, County Sheriff, and County Board of Education (non-partisan).

Registered voters residing inside Ahoskie’s corporate limits will also cast ballots for members of their Town Council. This non-partisan election was delayed from November of 2021 due to having to redraw the town’s voting districts following a shift in the population noted in the 2020 U.S. Census.
