More than 1 million ballots cast in first four days of early voting
More than one million voters cast their ballots across North Carolina in the 2024 general election, according to the State Board of Elections.
The board said preliminary data showed that 1, 008,123 ballots were cast statewide during the first four days of in-person early voting.
"My sincerest thanks goes out to the county boards of elections and the thousands of election workers around the state who are making this happen," said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board. "It has been an incredibly busy few days. Please thank those in your community who are making sure your vote counts."
Saturday, nearly 863,000 voters had cast ballots during the first three days of the early voting period. A 2.4% increase over 2020, when more voters voted absentee ballots due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
