If you don't think you're going to have time to place your vote in the upcoming primary, you're in luck. Early voting opened today in Charlotte.
If you didn't get registered to vote by August 21 and you had plans to vote in the September 15 primary, then you have to vote early, according to the Mecklenburg Count Board of Elections web site. If you need to update or register, you can do that by voting early.
Unlike the 2008 Presidential election, voting sites aren't all over the city. One Stop Early Voting is at the Hal Marshall Annex, located at 618 North College St. on the first floor.
In the primary, there are three Republican candidates vying for the office of mayor, John Lassiter, Martin Davis and Jack Stratton III.
Democrat Anthony Foxx doesn't face an opponent in the primary. East Charlotte (District 5) city council representative Nancy Carter faces Darrell Bonapart in the primary.
In District One, Patsy Kinsey faces Owen Sutkowski in the primary.
District Two (battle of the nicknames) James (Smuggie) Mitchell faces Aaron (Fatso) Sanders.
Charlotte will elect a new mayor this year, as current Mayor Pat McCrory has decided not to seek another term.
