Chapel Hill

What this edition actually has in Chapel Hill. The early-voting note is Orange County’s full list, because three of the sites are here and the hours are the county’s. Chapel Hill’s permit portal was opened on October 16, 2026. Issued rows sit behind an account, so this edition does not quote them.
