Early voting starts Thursday, October 15, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
With no presidential race on the ballot this year, it can be easy to think this election matters less. It doesn't.
Your state representatives affect your life more than you might think. The people we send to Raleigh decide how much our schools receive, what we pay for power and gas, how our roads get fixed, and whether working families get relief when costs go up.
Midterms are your direct line to your state representatives. In a state House race, a few hundred votes can make the difference, and your voice carries more weight than in almost any other election. Midterms also often shift the balance of power in the NC legislature.
That's why voting in every election is important. Make your plan today, and bring a friend, a neighbor, or a family member with you.

GOP Abandons Whatley
What Comes Next and How to Capitalize on it Down Ballot.
First, we are 32 days out from Election Day 2026, and only 13 days out from the start of in-person early voting in North Carolina. If you have not yet made a plan to vote, please do! And make sure your family and friends have a plan too!
Almost all of the important information you need to make a plan can be found here. Pro tip: the earlier you vote, the earlier people will quit calling you to ask you to vote.¹
Second, just today, national Republican funding groups cancelled T.V. ad buys and directed money away from supporting the GOP U.S. Senate nominee Michael Whatley. That money is now going to Kansas. Kansas last elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 1932 and holds the record for longest single-party control of both U.S. Senate seats of any state in the country.
That’s the good news. It means the GOP is all but writing off Whatley’s campaign and instead is focused on defending what should be guaranteed win in Kansas. Republican candidates across North Carolina will suffer from this shift as well. Any coattails they may have hoped for will disappear, much like down-ballot Democrats suffered in 2020 and 2022 when national Democrats left North Carolina.
…. While the news today is great for national Democrats and Roy Cooper, we cannot overlook our down ballot candidates here in North Carolina. Chief Justice Cheri Beasley lost re-election in 2020 by 401 votes. Justice Allison Riggs won re-election in 2024 by 734 votes. Every vote is critical in our judicial races!
Now is the time to dig deep. Double down on your support for local candidates if you can. Even a few dollars can make all the difference in races that will be raising thousands of dollars, not millions.
For the judges, that means supporting Justice Earls and Judges Arrowood, Walczyk, and Hampson. You can support these rockstar Democratic judicial candidates via our 2026 NC Judicial Slate!
ATTENTION MAIL-IN ABSENTEE VOTERS:
Please be very sure to SEAL the inner envelope containing your ballot.
If not, it could be rejected by the Board of Elections!
though the BoE will notify you by text or email and you’d hopefully have plenty of time to submit a replacement ballot
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND voting early in person or dropping your sealed ballot off at a ballot box, rather than relying on USPS
Early voting begins on October 15; our work protecting democracy this election season has already begun! We are encouraging people to register to vote and monitoring post-election procedures to make sure every vote is counted.
ACLU 9/3/26
Here’s the NC LWV on their position on
Constitutional amendments deserve particularly careful scrutiny because they establish durable limits and requirements that are more difficult to change than ordinary laws. These policy decisions are better addressed through legislation, where elected officials can respond to changing circumstances and voters can hold them accountable.
NO to the income-tax amendment: current law already keeps the individual income-tax rate below the proposed 3.5% cap, and the amendment itself would not lower current taxes. Placing the cap in the Constitution would limit the ability of future elected leaders to respond to changing economic conditions and state needs.
NO to the property-tax levy amendment because it would shift greater authority over local funding decisions to the state while leaving the actual limits, formulas and possible exceptions to future legislation. The League is concerned that restricting local property-tax revenue could affect funding for public education, elections and other local services and/or increase reliance on fees.
NO to the photo ID amendment because state law already requires identification for absentee voting and provides for voters who cannot reasonably provide ID. The proposed amendment would place the requirement that all voters present photo identification into the State Constitution without protecting those existing safeguards. The League is concerned that this could create additional barriers for military, student, rural, and older voters.
NCDP: Elect judges who value your freedoms.
The 2024 elections underscored just how critical our judicial races truly are. Republican Jefferson Griffin tried to silence 67,000 voters and steal a seat on the Supreme Court. Thanks to a unified and determined effort by Democrats, that attempt was stopped. On May 13, 2025, Justice Allison Riggs was officially sworn in—marking a victory for fairness, democracy, and the rule of law.
