This upcoming second primary is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14, 2024. On election day, polling stations will open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Voters are required to visit their designated precinct to cast their vote.

Voters will be asked to show photo ID when they vote. All voters will be allowed to vote with or without ID. Voters without ID can get one for free from the Pender County Board of Elections. Find out more at BringltNC.com.

Early voting will be held at the following location from Thursday, April 25, 2024, until Saturday, May 11, 2024:

Pender County Cooperative Extension Auditorium, located at 801 S. Walker Street Burgaw, NC 28425

Voters wishing to use absentee ballots must have their requests submitted by 5 p.m. on May 7, 2024, either through the official website at votebymail.ncsbe.gov or by completing a form available from the board of elections. Absentee ballots will be distributed to those who have requested them as soon as they become available.

Eligibility to vote in the second primary extends to all voters registered under the political party of the candidates appearing on the ballot. Additionally, unaffiliated voters who either abstained from voting in the first primary or who voted on a ballot from the party conducting the second primary are also eligible to vote. For instance, in a Republican second primary for the nomination of Lieutenant Governor, all registered Republicans, along with unaffiliated voters who either did not vote in the first primary or who voted on a Republican ballot, would be eligible to vote.
