SOUTHEASTERN, N.C. — The time for same-day registration during the early voting period is nearing an end ahead of the 2020 primary election. Select polling places have the opportunity to cast ballots in the partisan primary through Saturday before Super Tuesday.

It’s important to remember voters may only cast ballots for the party they’re registered for; registered Republicans cannot vote in the Democratic primary unless they alter their voter registration during the early voting period and vice versa. Only voters registered as “unaffiliated” may only choose between Republican, Democratic, or Libertarian ballots in the primary.
