Use our Voter Guide to research candidates on the ballot in Franklin County
Election Day is Nov. 8. To help you make your choices, The News & Observer has created this voter guide for Franklin County.
We contacted many of the candidates for state and federal races who will appear on general election ballots in Franklin County and asked them to answer a series of questions about their backgrounds, philosophy and positions.
Below, find links to the questionnaires submitted by candidates who responded. We are making every questionnaire free to readers.
A few races are statewide, including those for U.S. Senate, N.C. Supreme Court and N.C. Court of Appeals, which means everyone gets to vote in those.
Other races are open only to people living in a district. If you are unsure what district you live in for the U.S. House, N.C. House or N.C. Senate, you can look that up at https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/.
