RALEIGH, N.C. — There are no days off when it comes to election season in North Carolina. 

“Election Day is just another day,” Wake County Board of Elections Deputy Director Olivia McCall said. “We’ve had 17 days of early voting. We’ve been mailing out absentee ballots. So Election Day is just another day for us.” 

Even on a Sunday morning, workers are packing election chief judges' cars with materials for Election Day on Tuesday.

Early voting turnout has already been promising across the state, including in Wake County. 

“We have had about just over 245,000 voters come out so far for early voting and absentee-by-mail combined,” McCall said.

Even though early voting has wrapped up, organizers are encouraging the remaining eligible voters to cast their ballots on Election Day. 

“Make sure you head to Readytovote.com. You can look up your sample ballot and be prepared before you go into the polls. You can also see where your assigned precinct is, so on Election Day you have to vote at your assigned precinct,” McCall said.

Midterm elections like this one are traditionally key for determining which party will be in charge. Across the nation, every U.S. House seat is up for election — and in North Carolina every seat in the legislature is also up for grabs. 

There is also a tight U.S. Senate battle in the Tar Heel state, and two seats on the N.C. Supreme Court are up for election and will decide which party holds control of the state's highest court. 

“Every vote matters. It’s so important for people to be a part of this process. As you can see, there is so much that goes into election days, so much that goes into the election process,” McCall said. “We’re doing this for the voters. This is for the voters, so make sure get out there and cast your ballot, and make your voice heard.”
