Local races on Tuesday's ballot
HENDERSON — Voters will fulfill one half of their civic duty during Tuesday’s primary election.
The polls will open at 6:30 a.m. and remain so until 7:30 p.m. Here are the precincts and their polling locations:
* Community College: Vance Granville Community College, 200 Community College Road
* East Henderson 1: Advance Academy, 219 Charles Street
* Hilltop: St. James Baptist Church: 3005 Highway 158 Business
* Kittrell: Kittrell Fire Station: 54 West Main Street
* Middleburg: E.O. Young Elementary School, U.S. 1 North
* New Hope: New Hope Elementary School, 10199 N.C. Highway 39 North
* North Henderson 1: County Office Building, 305 Young and Walnut streets
* Northern Vance: Northern Vance Middle School, 293 Warrenton Road
* Sandy Creek: Aycock Recreation Complex, 307 Carey Chapel Road
* South Henderson 1: H. Leslie Perry Memorial Library, 205 Breckenridge Street
* South Henderson 2: L.B. Yancey Elementary School, 311 Hawkins Drive
* West Henderson: Central Fire Station, 211 Dabney Drive
Voters registered as Republicans can vote in that party’s primary. The same goes for Democrats as well as those registered under the No Labels, Green Party and Libertarian parties — even if those parties don’t have primaries.
Unaffiliated voters can choose any one ballot.
Depending on their location, voters might also see a local election or two — second district Commissioner Archie Taylor is running for re-election against one opponent, political newcomer Valencia Perry. Vance County School Board member Linda Cobb is going up against longtime educator Dr. William Purvis.
The winners of both primaries will run unopposed, effectively taking the seat outright.
At the federal level, voters will choose their preference for president. Republicans in some areas will vote on their choice of Sandy Smith or Laurie Buckhout for N.C. Congressional District 01. The winner will go toe-to-toe against incumbent Rep. Don Davis later this year.
Voters should bring a valid photo I.D., such as a driver’s license.
