Clinton, Obama open campaign offices in Wilmington

The countdown continues to the May 6 election and the North Carolina primary is drawing increasing attention from the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns.

Election Day is less than a month away and both major democratic presidential candidates have now opened campaign offices in Wilmington.

The Obama office is at 511 North 3rd Street. It opened last week in Wilmington.

The Clinton Wilmington campaign office opened Tuesday at 925 S. College Rd. Campaign volunteers and staff were busy with last-minute preparations for the grand opening ceremony which is being held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. this evening.

Clinton volunteer Ellie Klein said, “We welcome everyone to come visit us and hear all about Hillary Clinton and everything associated with her.”

As the election approaches, it’s hard not to notice the energy in the air as North Carolina will play a part in deciding the democratic presidential nominee.

It’s safe to say that most people who are going to vote have already registered, but if you haven’t registered yet, your deadline is this Friday, but if you fail to meet that deadline you can still vote via the one stop ( April 17 to may 3 ).

And even if you already have registered to vote you can still one-stop vote.

There’s a third as well. You can also request an absentee ballot. You don’t even need to provide an excuse. That request needs to be in to your county Board of Election office by April 29.
