Guilford County Board of Elections Chair Explains March Primary Voting Details

WFMY’s “2 Wants to Know” segment "walks through important information for voters ahead of the March primary, with specific relevance to Guilford County voters," and the piece identifies Guilford County Board of Elections Chair Charlie Collicut as the official who "goes over what you should know before heading to the polls," according to the version republished by Yahoo on Tue, February 10, 2026 at 10:47 PM UTC.

The WFMY summary lists the topics the segment covers as "how the primary calendar works, where and when early voting will be offered, and what to bring to t", the final phrase in the available text is truncated and the republished item contains no direct quotes from Collicut. The absence of full text for "what to bring to t" means the specific voter identification items, required documents, or other checklist elements are not present in the republished summary and must be confirmed with the full WFMY video or the Guilford County Board of Elections.

National calendar context places North Carolina’s primary on March 3, 2026, within a slate of March contests. NBC’s "2026 Primary Election Calendar" lists March 3 (Tuesday) entries for Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas; the North Carolina entry notes that "Democrats see this race as one of the party's best opportunities to flip a seat in November. Former Gov. Roy Cooper is their front-runner, and former R.N.C. chair Michael Whatley, a Trump loyalist, is the G.O.P. favorite." NBC’s calendar also lists March 10 contests including a Georgia House Special and states that "At least 22 candidates are running for the chance to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a close ally of President Trump, in this deep red district." The calendar lists March 17 Illinois contests and notes "Sen. Dick Durbin, the longtime Democratic senator, declined to seek re-election, leaving open a seat in a state Kamala Harris won in 2024 by 10 points. Both parties have competitive primaries."

Locally, the actionable items WFMY said it would cover - early voting locations and schedules for Guilford County and the list of items voters should bring to the polls - are not specified in the republished summary. Charlie Collicut is identified by name and title in the segment description, but the materials provided include no verbatim guidance from him on hours, addresses, or identification rules for Guilford County polling. Reporters and voters should obtain the full WFMY video or contact the Guilford County Board of Elections directly to confirm early voting sites, hours, polling place locations on primary day, voter ID requirements, and absentee ballot deadlines.
