So far, nearly 125,000 North Carolina registered voters have requested mail-in ballots, with nearly 25,000 returning their ballots and having them reviewed and accepted.
Among the requested ballots:
- White voters: 84.4 percent
- Black voters: 8.7 percent
- Millennials: 21.5 percent
- Generation X: 13.1 percent
- Baby Boomers: 35.2 percent
- Silent/Greatest: 30.1 percent
- Native North Carolinians (born in the state): 35.3 percent
- Born outside of the state/unknown: 64.7 percent
Among the requested ballots, registered Republican voters are 40 percent, with 32 percent from registered Democrats, 28 percent from registered unaffiliated voters, and less than one percent from registered Libertarians.
Among the accepted ballots, 38 percent are from registered Democrats, 37 percent from registered Republicans, and 25 percent from registered unaffiliated voters.
In comparing the same day totals, by party registration, against the same day cumulative totals in 2012:
While the total number of accepted ballots returned so far in comparison to 2012 are behind (only 83 percent of where they were four years ago), registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters are at 112 percent of their 2012 same-day totals each, while registered Republicans are only 58 percent of where they were in 2012 on the same day totals.
In looking at the total ballots requested (sent out on same day in 2012 and 2016), again, both registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters are ahead of their same day totals from 2012, while registered Republicans are significantly behind in their requested/sent ballots.
