Election 2012

See the Pitt County results here.


View the Pitt County sample ballot here, then check out the links to the candidates below. 

If you’re not sure which districts are yours, the State Board of Elections provides a very easy to use voter lookup. Just put in your first and last names, birth date, and county of residence and it will show you your voter information, including polling place and voter history. At the bottom of your voter information are two links. One gives all of your district information from federal, state, county and city levels, and the other shows your exactly what  your ballot will look like.

Though the final date to register to vote on November 6 has passed, you can still register and vote on the same day during early voting
