WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – When polls close tonight, WECT will stream live coverage as results come in.

Coverage will begin at 7:30 p.m., as most polls close across North Carolina. Some polls in the state will remain open until 8:15 p.m. due to technical glitches causing minor issues.

Anchor Jon Evans will join the livestream throughout the night to deliver updates and analysis.

Viewers can track the election results as ballots are tallied, as well as revisit key issues through our previous Candidate Forums.
