Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, economic uncertainty, and heightened sense of political polarization in our country, the 2020 election season has been unlike any other. North Carolinians and voters across the United States turned out in unprecedented numbers this year. In North Carolina, over 4.5 million voters- nearly 62% of the state’s registered voters- voted before Election Day. On Election Day, around 900,000 votes were cast, with close to 5.5 million votes total cast in N.C. It is expected that the state will beat voter turnout records, with nearly 75% of eligible voters turning out to vote this election cycle.
