10 Tips for Election Day Voters – From the NC State Board of Elections

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Community, County News, Election 2018, Elections, General News.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

10 Tips for Election Day Voters

RALEIGH, N.C. – The State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement offers the following 10 tips for voters as they head to the polls on Election Day – Tuesday, November 6.

1)      Polls across North Carolina are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Voters in line at 7:30 p.m. will be able to cast a ballot. Lines tend to be longer before and after normal business hours.

2)      Statewide, about 2,700 precincts will be open Tuesday. Find your Election Day polling place here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/PPLkup/. Voters may vote in another precinct in their county of residence. However, to ensure you receive your full ballot, go to the precinct for the address where you lived on October 7, 2018.

3)      Sample ballots are available through the State Board’s Voter Lookup tool here:https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/.

4)      Same-day registration is not available on Election Day.

5)      Information about judicial candidates and the six constitutional amendments on the ballot is here:https://www.ncsbe.gov/Portals/0/Documents/2018_Judicial_Voter_Guide_(online).pdf.

6)      Voters who need assistance at the polls must request that assistance. Individuals who are unable to enter the polling place may vote curbside. Once inside the polling place, voters who experience difficulties should request help from a poll worker.

7)      The State Board asks that all voters respect the right of others to participate in the election. Intimidating any voter is a crime. Voters who feel harassed or intimidated should notify an election official immediately.

8)      To report an election incident to the State Board, submit it online here.

9)      If you present to vote and your name is not on the voter list, you may request a provisional ballot. If you cast a provisional ballot, about 10 days after the election you may check the status of your ballot here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegProvPIN/.

10)   Election results will begin posting after 7:30 p.m. at http://er.ncsbe.gov/.

Alamance County WIC Celebrates Black Breastfeeding Week

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, General News, Health, Public Events.

BURLINGTON – All are invited to join in a celebration in honor of Black Breastfeeding Week, which will take place August 25th through August 31st at Alamance Regional Medical Center (ARMC). Black Breastfeeding Week was created six years ago to help recognize and change the gap in breastfeeding rates between white and black women. There are many reasons to focus on increasing the breastfeeding rate among black mothers during this weeklong celebration, such as the high rate of infant mortality, high rates of diet-related disease, lack of diversity in the lactation field, unique cultural barriers, and a lack of community resources where women of color can seek support.

This is the first year that Alamance County community partners have to come together to take part in the celebration of African American breastfeeding women. The theme this year is #LoveOnTop; lifting up children and women in unison throughout the nation. The Alamance County WIC Program, along with the Lactation Department at ARMC, is hosting a community-wide maternal and child health fair focusing on the health of African American women and their families, and the positive promotion of breastfeeding as a normal and important strategy for building healthy families. The event will be held in the educational classroom at ARMC on Friday August 31st from 10am-1pm. There will be raffle prizes and free food for participants, as well as breastfeeding and nutrition vendors.
The Alamance County WIC Program has one Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant and two Breastfeeding Peer Counselors, and the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program has been running for almost 10 years.

For more information about this event or for breastfeeding support please contact the Alamance County WIC Program at 336-570-6745.
