<p>CITY WOULD NEED TO DO ITS OWN STUDY AND FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH AN ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE TEAM WOULD EVEN COST TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY VOTERS IN DOZENS OF CITIES ACROSS THE STATE WILL BE CASTING BALLOTS TO DECIDE WHO WILL LEAVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND MUCH OF THE TRIANGLE AND BEYOND. &gt;&gt; THESE ARE ALL SO SOME OF THE FIRST ELECTIONS THAT REQUIRE VOTERS IN THIS STATE TO SHOW PHOTO IDENTIFICATION AT THE POLLS. WRAL, STATE GOVERNMENT REPORTER WILL DORT IS HERE WITH MORE ON THAT. SO WELL. HOW CAN PEOPLE FIND OUT IF THEY'RE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN ONE OF THESE ELECTIONS? SO HUNDREDS OF LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE STATE. &gt;&gt; AND IN OUR VIEWING AREA, THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE INSIDE CITY LIMITS OF PLACES LIKE DURHAM, FAYETTEVILLE, CHAPEL HILL, MOST OF THE WAKE COUNTY SUBURBS, PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES CAN CAST A BALLOT TOMORROW FROM MAYORS AND TOWN COUNCILS. WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE INSURED? THEIR TOWN HAS AN ELECTION OR WHO'S ON THE BALLOT OR IF THEY'RE EVEN REGISTER TO VOTE? HOW CAN THEY GET THOSE CRITICAL DETAILS? &gt;&gt; SO THAT INFORMATION SHOULD ALL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL COUNTY'S BOARD OF ELECTIONS WEBSITE OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE. LOOK UP A NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS SEARCH TYPE IN YOUR NAME. IF YOUR TOWN HAS AN ELECTION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE TO GO. VOTE AND SEE A SAMPLE BALLOT SHOWING ALL THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE GOING TO BE UP FOR ELECTION. AND OF COURSE, THIS IS THE ELECTION DAY WHERE EVERYONE WILL NEED TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE POLLS THAT THEY HAVEN'T BROUGHT BEFORE. A PHOTO IDENTIFICATION. &gt;&gt; WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT. SO MOST PEOPLE HAVE NOT FOUND THE NEW RULES TO BE TOO CUMBERSOME OF MORE THAN 150,000 EARLY VOTERS. SO FAR. &gt;&gt; ONLY 64 OF THEM DIDN'T HAVE I D THE VAST MAJORITY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHOW A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR ANOTHER ACCEPTABLE FORM OF ID. AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ID OR MAYBE JUST ACTUALLY LEFT A HOME, YOU'LL STILL BE ABLE TO VOTE. WE'LL JUST NEED TO COME BACK TO ELECTIONS OFFICE, WHICH IT AND BALLAD ID WITHIN A FEW DAYS OR FILL OUT A FORM EXPLAINING WHY YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. AND OF COURSE, THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD TEST RUN FOR THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. MUCH MORE TURNOUT FOR THAT. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM ELECTIONS? OFFICIALS? &gt;&gt; THEY ARE A LITTLE CONCERNED. THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY NO STATE FUNDING THIS YEAR TO HELP EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE NEW VOTER ID RULES SINCE THE NEW STATE BUDGET WAS DELAYED FOR MONTHS AND ONLY RECENTLY PASSED BUT AS SOON AS THESE ELECTIONS ARE DONE OVER STATE AND LOCAL ELECTIONS, OFFICIALS WILL BE TURNING THEIR ATTENTION TO 2024 AND HOW TO PREPARE FOR THAT. AND IT'S THEIR GOAL TO DO KIND OF OUTREACH TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT INFORMATION. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE FOCUS HEADING INTO NEXT YEAR'S BIG PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. A BIG ONE WILL. THANKS SO MUCH. AND WHEN THE RESULTS START ROLLING IN TOMORROW NIGHT, MAKE WRAL AND</p>
