Mail-in and early in-person voting is running ahead of this point in the 2018 midterms.
Thursday marked the start of one-stop, in-person voting and elections officials started processing mail-in ballots last month.
By the time one-stop sites closed Friday, well over 200,000 North Carolina voters had cast ballots in person.
Through Thursday, the state board of election reports 51,500 mail-in ballots had been accepted -- with more than 200,000 requested.
