Election Day has come and gone with a record number of votes cast in Decision 2020 in North Carolina and across the country. Still, winners in some key races, including the race for the White House, have yet to be declared in the state.

President Donald Trump declared victory in North Carolina early Wednesday morning, but with thousands of provisional and absentee ballots still left to count, the race is still too close to officially call, according to election officials.

Officials with the North Carolina State Board of Elections will hold a press conference Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. to give an update on the latest ballot totals and the next steps in the election process in the state. State Board of Elections Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell will walk through the typical post-election process.
