SBE: Election Day Information for Voters
RALEIGH, N.C. – The following are 5 things North Carolina voters should remember as they head to the polls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8.
1) Polls across North Carolina are open Tuesday from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Those in line at 7:30 p.m. will be able to cast their ballot. Lines in some locations tend to be longer before and after normal business hours.
2) Same-day registration is not available on Election Day. As of Nov. 5, nearly 6.9 million people were registered to vote in North Carolina.
3) Precinct polling locations and sample ballots are available under “NC Polling Place Search” here or the “NC Public Voter Search” here. About 2,700 precincts will open across North Carolina on Tuesday.
4) 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 may alert a poll worker to request help.
5) The State Board of Elections asks that all voters respect the right of others to participate in the election. Intimidating any voter is a crime. Also, please be courteous toward others at the voting place, regardless of differences of opinion, and remain calm at all times. If at any time a voter feels harassed or intimidated at a polling place, the voter should notify an election official immediately.
Election results will begin posting after the close of polls at http://er.ncsbe.gov/.
The Alamance County Register of Deeds Office kicked off its Thank a Veteran Program on Tuesday, November 1, 2016. The program encourages veterans to record their discharge papers (DD 214) with the Register of Deeds Office.
Once recorded, the veterans receive a card with their photo on it. The card is recognized by participating Alamance County business owners who have agreed to offer the veterans a discount or an incentive to patronize their business.
The event was highlighted by refreshments and vendors from other county offices like the tax department, Veterans Services, the library, and Alamance Community College.
Its success was evident in the turnout (close to 100 discount cards were issued) and in the camaraderie amongst the veterans who were clearly happy with being recognized for the sacrifices they have made for their country.
The Thank a Veteran Program is a free, permanent program. Veterans can record their DD 214s and receive their discount cards between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, except holidays. Any questions from veterans or business owners wishing to participate can be directed to the Register of Deeds Office at 336-570-6565.
On September 11, 2016, on the fifteenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, the citizens of Alamance County were able to view the memorial to the lives lost on that day and to the men and women who made up the first responders that answered the call of duty.
A metal sculpture, titled “Rise”, containing a cube made from the steel of World Trade Center Tower 2, designed and constructed by Casey Lewis of Beechwood Metal Works, was unveiled at Swepsonville Fire Department. The sculpture’s construction was funded in a cooperative effort between private citizens of Alamance County, local businesses, and government entities within Alamance County.
The memorial will move around the county to various locations so that all residents will have an opportunity to interact with the memorial. It will remain at Swepsonville Fire Department for the next month before moving on.
