Good morning, readers.

It’s Election Day in the Triangle.

Municipalities across Durham, Orange and Wake counties have elections on the ballot today, including races for mayor, town councils and boards, and school board. Voters are tasked with selecting leaders in Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, and more.

Polls are open today from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Throughout the day, INDY staff will be highlighting the races we’re watching and visiting polling places to talk to voters. Tonight, we’ll bring you dispatches from candidates’ election parties, and of course, updates on the results as they come in. You can follow along on our election live blog.

STATE: Even with rulings that the Trump administration must fund SNAP, payments are expected to be delayed and partial. Carolina Public Press reports on how severe the disruption may be in North Carolina.
