TO THE EDITOR:
Did you know North Carolina is holding a primary election June 7 for Congress in 11 of N.C.’s 13 congressional districts, and also a statewide primary for N.C. Supreme Court Justice the same day? Almost 55,000 N.C. voters who applied for absentee ballots for the March 15 primary had June 7 ballots automatically mailed to them Monday, April 18, including 1,255 Orange County registered voters as well as 441 voters living in Orange County but registered in other counties. If you didn’t vote by mail for the March 15 primary and are registered to vote in N.C., you can get an absentee ballot to vote by mail for the June 7 primary for any NC county at: bit.ly/241eiQT while Orange County voters can also get a county specific one at: bit.ly/1XJ0YwT
If you are registered to vote in Orange County but are moving to another Chapel Hill or Carrboro location after the end of semester, make sure to keep your address up to date for the November general election — once you are at your address for the fall, flip over your Orange County voter registration card and use the change of address form on the back.
