As we inch closer to tuesdays primary election here in north carolina, voters in big numbers took advantage of the last day of early voting. Democratic and republican president ial candidates have drawn a lot of attention. So it should be no surprise that voters in mechlenburg county turned out in very, very big numbers, more than in previous years. Kristen joins us live from the news room with more details. Tell us about the turnout today. Yes, steve, mechlenburg county has not seen the turnout like we have seen today and this periods in the previous three president ial primaries. With how much buzz some have created its no surprise to voters. Usually the lines not so long. I like to not face the crowds so much. On saturday, voters who usually early vote were met with a larger than normal crowd during the early Voting Period for you to days primary election. It was a record for early voting in the county.

Theres buzz surrounding some president ial candidates. Well, trump is the biggest noise maker. I want to support our president ial candidate, hillary clinton. Not only have they created buzz.

If early voting numbers are any indication, this could mean a higher turnout for tuesdays primary as well. According to the most recent data from the board of elections, Voter Registration in mechlenburg county has increased by almost 2500.
