The Wake County Board of Elections certified the results of the March 3 Primary Election during a public canvass meeting held on March 13, according to an announcement on Mar. 18. The certification follows the completion of all recount and protest deadlines, making the election results final.
This certification marks the conclusion of the election cycle in Wake County, ensuring that all votes have been accurately counted and tabulated. The official results are now available on the State Board of Elections Results Dashboard.
Before certifying the results, election officials conducted a sample hand-eye count in two randomly selected precincts and reviewed all approved absentee and provisional ballots. “While many people focus on Election Night, the election process does not end there,” said Wake County Board of Elections Director Olivia McCall. “Our team dedicates significant time to reviewing and auditing results in conjunction with our bipartisan Board to ensure everything is accurate. We saw strong voter participation across all voting methods, leading the state in absentee, early voting and Election Day turnout. We appreciate the commitment of our staff and election officials in conducting smooth and secure elections.”
With certification complete, voter history records have been updated to reflect participation and voting methods for this primary. These records can be accessed through the State Board of Elections Voter Search tool. Detailed precinct-level results will be published by April 2 on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website.
The Wake County Board of Elections oversees all county elections, including establishing precincts and voting sites, appointing officials, preparing ballots and equipment, certifying ballots cast, investigating irregularities, and maintaining registration records for more than 845,000 voters.
