NC Democratic Primary: Unaffiliated Voters

I’ve been hearing that unaffiliated voters won’t be allowed to vote in the upcoming North Carolina Democratic primary election. Since I have been planning to vote in said primary, I was unhappy to hear this.

Good news! According to the North Carolina Democratic Party’s website:

In North Carolina, unaffiliated voters are permitted to vote in the Democratic primary.

However, if an unaffiliated voter chooses to vote in the Democratic primary, he or she cannot vote in a Republican runoff (or second primary). Similarly, an unaffiliated voter who votes in a Republican primary cannot vote in a Democratic runoff.
