INC NEWS - Durham School Board Elections

[pat carstensen]

You only vote for candidates for your own district (unlike city council)

For those in SW Durham, the primary for NC House district 29 is also 
important.

One-stop voting begins today (you can go to the Board of Elections and cast 
a ballot for the rest of this month)

Regards, pat
