Voting is slow at Greenwood

Voter turnout for local elections was expectedly slow at the Greenwood precinct’s poll as of 10 a.m., officials
said.

Forty-eight residents had voted at the precinct, which includes Chapel Hill Mayor, Chapel Hill Town Council, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education and the quarter-cent sales tax referendum on its ballot.

“I voted because I have positions and people that I want to support in the election,” said Paul Brinich, a resident who voted at the poll.

Emilie de Luca, who was working at the poll, said she expected the slow turnout to
continue through the day.

“We hope that in the future more people will vote for local elections,” she said. “That’s where government begins.”

Alice Joyce, the co-chair of the Greenwood Precinct for the Orange County Democratic Party, was outside the precinct handing out sample ballots.

“I expected it to be a slow day, but I’m shocked and disappointed that it’s as slow as it is.”
