Tomorrow is the last day to vote early in the prim Tomorrow is the last day to vote early in the primary elections! And as a reminder, election day is March 3. 

With DAs on the ballot across most of the state, voters have a critical opportunity right now to shape how justice happens at the local level. Even though North Carolina preserves the death penalty at the state level, DAs have the authority to decide whether or not they will ever seek death in their districts. 

Stay informed about where your local DA candidates stand on capital punishment and make a plan to vote if you haven't already!
