MAY 6, 2008 PRIMARY ELECTIONS:
In the May 6 Primary Elections, Tar Heel voters will decide which candidates
running for elected office in their registered political party will move on
to the November 4, General Election. In some races, there is both a Democrat
and Republican primary election, while in others, only the candidates of one
political party face primary opposition. Judicial races are nonpartisan. Races
with primary opposition can be identified in this website by underlined
active links.
In preparation for the Primary Elections, the North Carolina Family Policy
Council sent questionnaires to all candidates in districts/races with primary
opposition, and their responses are available on this website.
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WEBSITE:
-
Determine the Primary Elections in which you can vote by referring
to your voter
registration card or by visiting the State
Board of Elections website.
(Primary voting depends upon your party affiliation and district information.)
The SBOE offers a handy tool that allows you to print a personalized sample ballot
for the Primary Election listing all the races in which you have the opportunity
to vote. At the “Voter Lookup” page on the SBOE website, select “Show
me my Voter Information” and then enter your name and date of birth to
obtain your sample ballot. Once you have your sample ballot, then go to step
