GREENSBORO, N.C. — This Friday isn't just any Friday. It's the start of the Labor Day Weekend, which for many is a long weekend without work. Not for the folks in the elections office. Friday is the first day absentee ballots can be mailed out to voters who requested them.
“We are going to be sending out a huge wave of ballots starting Friday. We're working all weekend to get the ballots out. We have a huge amount of requests and it's all hands on deck working to get all these envelopes stuffed and mailed out, but we can't start until Friday,” Charlie Collicutt, Guilford County Board of Elections Director said.
