Use the interactive graphic below to see fundraising and spending totals for the Democratic and Republican candidates in North Carolina's three most competitive Congressional races. Due due gerrymandering, the remaining 10 races are not considered competitive. Data for this graphic come from the Federal Elections Commission.

In-person early voting for the 2018 general election begins Wednesday. Statewide, more than 300 early voting sites will offer voting hours through November 3. Election Day is November 6.
Early voting also offers "same-day registration," which allows individuals to register and vote in one stop. This is not allowed on Election Day, however. The regular registration deadline has passed, and those who are not properly registered may not vote on Election Day.
