First Vote NC has developed a web-based ballot for the 2024 general election that includes the presidential race and all statewide races in North Carolina. The ballot looks similar to the one the future voter would receive if they were going to the polls.

The voting experience will be enhanced by an optional exit poll and receipt of an “I VOTED” virtual sticker. Results will be available after the election, so First Vote NC voters can see how their vote compares to the general election results.
