Imani Tailly, News Editor North Carolina is quickly approaching the midterm elections. Unlike presidential elections, the next of which will be in November of 2028, the midterms often attract fewer voters. In the 2024 general presidential election, voter turnout was 73.73% compared to 51.14% in the 2022 non-presidential election. Despite the lower turnout, the midterms often play a major role in determining who will represent North Carolina in the Senate, House of Representatives and other government positions. With state-wide voting occurring on Nov. 3, 2026, this may be the first time you cast your vote.
