BRUNSWICK COUNTY — Have you decided who you’re voting for in the primaries? Early voting starts this Thursday, Apr. 28, and runs for two weeks. Primary Election Day is May 17.

Along with sample ballots, Port City Daily has compiled candidate questionnaires so voters can read up on office contenders’ stances before heading to the polls.

Voters will choose which candidates from their registered party they want to move forward in the formal election. Those who are registered as unaffiliated can choose which party’s primary they want to vote in.

Not registered to vote? Same-day registration is available throughout the early voting period. Check here to see if your registration is active at your current address.

See the full Republican Party Primary sample ballot here and the Democratic Party Primary sample ballot here (N.C. House District 17) and here (N.C. House District 19).
