After months of contentious debate among the candidates, voters will choose a wide range of local, state and federal elected officials Tuesday, Nov. 4. Polls are open across North Carolina from 6:30 to 7 p.m.
In recent weeks, Xpress has covered several of the most important local races, from the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners and School Board to the North Carolina General Assembly. Check out the Xpress politics page for stories on the candidates and where they stand on local issues. It will be updated with the election results as they’re available.
Xpress is also launching a live chat room and Twitter feed we’re calling the “Newsroom.” We invite users to log-in to the website and join the conversation.
This is our inaugural experiment with the “Newsroom” feature and we hope it will be a vibrant online forum for you to share observations, dispatches and questions about the election and related issues. Our reporters and editors will also be experimenting by posting in the chat room over the next couple days. Feel free to ask us questions and share your thoughts with us.
You can look up your Election Day polling place and ballot information using this embedded tool from the Voting Information Project, a partnership between Pew Charitable Trust and Google:
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
