Hey readers, this article originally went out as a new newsletter were calling Democracy, Empowered. It will include our election coverage, ways for you to get involved, important election information and dates. If you find the newsletter helpful, you can sign up for it online. Well be sending it out about once a week.

Primary Election Dates:

Even if youre not registered to vote, you can do same-day registration during the early voting period. Learn how here. Also, if you decide to vote early, you can visit any precinct youd like to cast your vote. Find Guilford County polling locations here and Forsyth County locations here. If youre voting on Election Day (March 5), you have to go to your assigned precinct. Find where that is here. A reminder! All voters need ID to vote this year. Learn more about what counts as a valid ID here.

Want to make it easy on yourself before you go vote? Download or print out your sample ballot and then circle or write down which candidates you want to vote for. You can also find a physical copy of our issue out on the streets now and mark that up if youd like! Easy peasy, extra cheezy.

Do you know who youre going to vote for in the state attorney generals race? What about lieutenant governor? If youre confused (its ok, we are too) weve got our comprehensive 2024 Primary Election Guide out now that has every single candidate on the ballot in the Triad from president all the way down to school board. Can we get a hell yeah?

We know that judicial races often dont get a lot of news coverage. That makes the races hard to understand and difficult to figure out who to vote for. What do the superior and district courts even do? How long are judges elected for? Who is running?

Weve got all of those answers for the Guilford County judicial races in our latest election piece here. Weve also got info for the Forsyth County judicial races in our Primary Guide here. Read it, share it up and then make sure to vote in the primary on March 5! Early voting is already in session.

Weve also got pullout articles about attorney general, governor and the lieutenant governor races.

Its been about a week since early voting started on Feb. 15 and so far, it looks like theres been decent turnout! Heres the rundown courtesy of the John Locke Foundation:

Were collecting data on how we should do election coverage this year. To help us out, you can take a quick survey that will help shape the way we report on the election.

So help us out, take the survey and share it with friends.

Did you know that TCB is about to celebrate its 10-year anniversary? Our first issue hit the streets back on Feb. 26, 2014. To celebrate, were fundraising for the 2024 Election! Its pretty simple. You can either make a one-time donation or you can start your own mini fundraiser for TCB with the aim of raising $100 total. Either way, it helps us out a lot.

Oh! Were also throwing a party. See you there!
