With less than a week away from Election Day, the public is reminded that the early voting period ends Saturday, Nov. 2. Election Day is on Nov. 5 and all 19 Duplin County precincts will be open. Absentee ballots must be received in the Duplin County Board of Elections office on Election Day, Nov. 5 by 7:30 p.m.
According to Duplin County Board of Elections Director Carrie Sullivan, out of the 32,512 registered voters in Duplin County, 8,747 voters have already cast their ballots. The number reflects in-person and mail-in votes as of Oct. 25.
The number of registered voters in Duplin County increased by 2,011 since the presidential election in 2020, when there were 30,501 registered voters. Also, since the primary election, 624 registered voters in Duplin County have changed their party affiliation.
A few reminders from the State Board of Elections:
-
As you head to the polls, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a chair if you have difficulty standing for long periods of time.
-
Leaving a contest blank will not invalidate your ballot. If you skip contests, your votes will be counted in all other contests on your ballot.
-
Voting from your car is not for voters who do not want to wait in line. It is only for voters who are unable to enter the voting place without physical assistance due to age or disability, and they will have to sign a sworn statement affirming that.
“Voters with disabilities will find handicap parking spots and curbside voting at all locations,” said Sullivan. “An Express Vote will also be found inside every location. The Express vote is a touch screen voting machine that has headphones and a braille keypad to assist our voters that are visually impaired.”
