2024 early vote turnout in NC crushes record

By the time early voting ended Saturday afternoon, a record 4.2 million people, or 54% of voters had cast ballots in person.

The early vote turnout had last week passed the 2020 mark, when 3.6 million people, or 49% of voters, cast ballots in person before Election Day.

State Election Director Karen Brinson Bell announced last Friday that the state had broken the 2020 early voting record.

With absentee ballots included, 57% of the state’s 7.8 million registered voters have cast ballots for the general election.

Even if that gets shattered to say 80%.

That means only 20+ % of votes are still likely on voting day.
