One-Stop, No-Excuse Voting

One-Stop No-Excuse voting began last Thursday with a light turn-out. The News Reporter Fewer than two dozen voters turned out last Thursday for the first day of one-stop, no-excuse voting. Three new voting machines, representing all of the county’s precincts, were set up at the Columbus County Board of Elections office. The elections office was closed Friday. One-stop, no-excuse voting resumes today and will continue at the Board of Elections until Saturday, April 29 a 1 p.m. On Wednesday, April 19, off-site, one-stop or “satellite” voting begins with polling places at Bolton Town Hall, the East Columbus Senior Center, the Chadbourn Municipal Annex, the Fair Bluff Fire and Rescue building and the Tabor City Courthouse. These polling places are open from 4 until 8 p.m. April 19-21 and April 26-28. Tuesday, April 25 is the last day to request an absentee ballot in writing, except due to sickness or disability. Primary Election Day is Tuesday, May 2. Polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. I thought about using it, but decided that I actually enjoy going to the poles on election. Call me weird.
