People in the Roanoke-Chowan region are voting.

According to preliminary numbers from one-stop voting in Bertie, Hertford and Northampton counties, people are turning out in huge numbers.

“We’ve never had a turnout like this,” Hertford County Elections Director Sheila Privott said. “We’ve already far-exceeded the number that voted during the primary.”

Privott reported that as of early Monday afternoon, more than 4,000 people have cast their ballots for the November 4 election. That includes one-stop voting and absentee voting by mail.

Similar thoughts were echoed by Northampton County Elections Director Susie Squire who has seen almost 2,500 people vote thus far compared to just over 600 in the May primary.

“I’m pleased with the numbers,” Squire said.

Bertie County Elections Director Shirlie Davenport has seen nearly 3,000 cast ballots as of early Monday afternoon. Most of those (1,976) have been cast in the Windsor voting location.

One-stop voting ends on Saturday in all three counties.
