How to vote in Virginia, North Carolina as Super Tuesday approaches
NORFOLK, Va. — Voters in Virginia and North Carolina are heading to the polls for Super Tuesday on March 5.
Both states offer forms of early voting, but people can also head to the polls on the actual Election Day.
In Virginia, early voting began last month, including early in-person voting at registrar’s offices.

“In Virginia, you will be asked for an acceptable form of ID,” said Walter Latham, the York County Registrar. “One of those would be a Virginia driver’s license.”
People in Virginia can also vote by mail, which no longer requires a witness signature.
“You need your driver’s license number and your social security number, so that we know who you are, and then you can also apply by doing a paper application,” said Latham. “We will mail the ballot to you.”
On Election Day, people voting in-person would cast their ballots at their voter precinct, not at the registrar’s office.
“Sometimes people do get confused because they will say, ‘Well, I voted here last time,’ but it was during early voting,” said Latham. “If they wait till Primary Day, they’ve got to go in-person to the regular polling place.”
If there are issues voting, people can vote provisionally and the registrar’s office will verify someone’s information and then count their vote.

In North Carolina, people can vote early in-person starting on Feb. 15.
They can also vote by mail, but it must reach the registrar by the date of the actual election.
In Virginia, mail-in ballots have to reach the registrar by March 8 at noon, three days after Election Day.
Super Tuesday marks the beginning of a busy election season in Virginia and North Carolina.
“Super Tuesday is always important, more specifically for the enthusiasm of voters,” said Dr. Eric Claville, a political analyst from Norfolk State University. “For each party, it’s an opportunity to really start the election process.”
Friends and family members gathered in Washington state on Saturday, remembering former Miss North Carolina Carrie Everett, who died on Easter Sunday. Another memorial service is planned in North Carolina next month.

Virginia vs North Carolina pregame notes
UVA owns a 59-33 advantage since the series began in 1938.
The 59 wins are UVA’s most against any opponent in program history (followed by 51 against Duke).
In Chapel Hill last year, the Tar Heels defeated the Cavaliers 18-9, snapping UVA’s six-game series win streak.
UVA has won nine of the last 11 meetings, dating back to 2018.
The Hoos have won the last two meetings with Carolina at Klöckner Stadium, 11-4 in 2022 and 14-6 in 2024.
The Tar Heels’ four goals in 2022 marked the fewest goals in a game under Joe Breschi, who was named UNC’s head coach in 2006.
The last time the Tar Heels knocked off the Cavaliers at Klöckner was a 16-13 decision during the first of three games between the two teams in 2021.
Later that year, UVA claimed back-to-back meetings against the Heels, including in the NCAA semifinals on the way to capturing the 2021 national title over Maryland.

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Fire crews are responding to a brush fire near Howard Gap Road in Hendersonville on Friday evening.
The fire is across the street from the Ebenezer Baptist Church and near the Highlands Square Shopping Center.
Henderson County Fire Marshal Glen Gillette said crews are fighting “blowdown from Helene.”

Around 11 p.m., the fire appears larger than it did an hour ago because crews are backburning, which refers to using fire to help control the wildfire.
Dana Fire Department Chief Jimmy Womack said that what was a 3-acre fire an hour ago will be an 8-acre fire due to back burning. He said the fire is 80% contained.
Womack said the cause of the fire is unknown, but one of the conditions contributing to the blaze is the Helene blowdown.
“There’s a lot of blowdown in these woods behind us. That’s what creates most of the problem,” said Womack.
Womack said there has been no property damage and no injuries have been reported for this fire in the woods that 24 personnel are fighting. They got the call to arrive at 6:05 p.m.
