Tuesday, March 3 — is primary election day in North Carolina. Voters will head to the polls to nominate party candidates for the general election in November. Here are five reminders before you head to the polls:

  • Polls open at 6:30 a.m. and will close at 7:30 p.m. As long as you’re in line at 7:30 p.m., you’ll be able to cast your ballot.
  • You cannot change your party affiliation on primary election day. Check your sample ballot to see which races you’ll vote in.
  • You’ll vote at your designated polling place. Check your registration to find where to vote.
  • You must cast your ballot at your assigned polling place. Bring an acceptable photo ID to the polls.
  • Meet the candidates vying for a seat on the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education.

The Forsyth County Board of Elections will publish results after polls close.
