On Election Day, a look at integrity, challenges and certification

2024 Primary Election Day in North Carolina
Matt Ramey
/
For WUNC
Voters head to the polls in Knightdale, North Carolina for the primary election on March 5, 2024.

What should voters expect as they head to the polls on Election Day? Will absentee ballots mailed today be honored? Will voters who are still in line at 7:30 p.m. still be able to vote at 8 p.m.? Will we have election results this evening?

Due South co-host Jeff Tiberii chats with WUNC's Rusty Jacobs and Mitchell Northam, as well as experts and reporters from across the state about Election Day tips and expectations.
