Voters registered with a party can only cast a ballot in the primary of the party they are affiliated with. Unaffiliated voters can cast a vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary. Voters may not vote in both primaries.

The Political Beat’s Candidate Guide includes questionnaire responses from candidates in key races across counties in the area.

For Alexander, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Richmond, Rowan, Stanly, Union and Watauga Counties, residents can see their area’s candidates for the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, and the North Carolina Court of Appeals.

In Mecklenburg County, residents can see information on Candidates for the State House, State Senate, Mecklenburg County Commission, Mecklenburg County Sheriff, and NC Superior and District Court Judges.

While the Mecklenburg County Sheriff candidates did not participate in the questionnaire, they did join the Political Beat for a debate in February.
