CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – Polls for the 2026 primary election in North Carolina were closed, in most counties, as of 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Election Day polls opened at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3 in counties across North Carolina. Polls closed at 7:30 p.m. — though any voter in line at 7:30 p.m. was still allowed to cast their ballot.
That is, except for Halifax County, where voting was extended until 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday due to a minor issue at one precinct.
That extension means that primary election results would not get released statewide until at least 8:30 p.m. The state elections board is not allowed to release unofficial election results while voting is underway, officials said Tuesday afternoon.
