Good morning, readers.

It’s Primary Day in Durham.

Today, thousands of Bull City residents will join those who already voted early in casting their ballots for mayor and city council (and getting those adorable “No Bull, I Voted” stickers).

Those votes will narrow down the field of candidates vying for mayor and the Ward 1, Ward 2 and Ward 3 city council seats. The top two vote-getters in each race will advance to the November 4 general election. Polls are open today from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. 

The INDY team will be in the field throughout the day, talking with voters and candidates alike. We’ll bring you dispatches from the polls, scenes from election watch parties, and of course, updates on the results as they come in. You can follow along on our election live blog.
