Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, Buncombe County is gearing up for the upcoming 2024 election. Despite the challenges faced, Corinne Duncan, the director of elections for the county, has assured citizens that voting will proceed as planned.
Despite the county elections office lacking running water, it has power, and Duncan confirmed that the office will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. She also called for volunteer poll workers to reach out to the office to assist in the election process.
