Hi all, hope everyone is well. Here is the voter guide for this year!
If you have questions on where to find information not listed in this guide, please shoot me a message and I'll try to help.
If you missed the deadline for normal registration you can also register to vote in person at your polling place during early-voting.
The DMV is also using self-service registration kiosks!

Description:
*Your sample ballot/voter registration lookup will usually list the specific people representing your districts. This significantly lowers the time and effort it takes to track down information.
The sample ballot location is located under the fourth section on the page.
Election day is November 3rd! Early Voting is from October 15th to October 31st!

Description:
You can find specific names through your Voter ID page as well! See the Voter Information section.
GoRaleigh and GoTriangle are no longer fare free, but I have included the routes below. You can also see fare information on their websites:
I have no idea what's happening in these counties, but here's their election pages! If you live here there's definitely information for you.

I swear, the power has flickered more this year than the rest of my life combined, and it’s starting to give me a lot of headaches. Not even really sure what to do as I can’t imagine Duke actually fixing anything.
Anyone else?

We have to protect our state birds

They are pretty adjacent to each other. Thinking about crowds and parking…..

I’m new to Raleigh. is tonight a planned attack on Raleigh citizens? They’re coming for me

What other restaurants do you miss?

Home buying in this market is frustrating enough, but when you’re disabled it’s that much worse. Layout is vitally important, and not just for “likes.” It’s an accessibility issue. And while 3D walkthroughs are great, when you’re poring through 100’s of listings trying to find a house with at least 2 bedrooms on the first floor, spending 10 minutes clicking through a walkthrough (or having to look at pictures and make a mental walkthrough because there is nothing about this anywhere) just to find out, when a quick glance at a floor plan could rule a house out as completely inaccessible.

I’ve been sitting on this for over a year, and I think it’s finally time to share these responses. I didn’t publish them sooner because, admittedly, I was scared. My phone number was leaked, I received a huge amount of harassment and threats, including death threats, and I wasn’t comfortable putting myself back into that situation. But it’s time to speak up.
During GalaxyCon Raleigh 2025, a bunch of vendors and I were placed across the street with no proper signage for $1,400 per table. After seeing vendors lose a lot of money and struggle, I decided to create an anonymous feedback form. I received 48 responses, including people from multiple GalaxyCon locations, not just Raleigh.
I’m reintroducing the feedback form as well, and I encourage you to share your own experiences from this year. I’ll continue updating the responses as more submissions come in.
With GalaxyCon now expanding into the fairgrounds and the backlash surrounding that decision, I feel like now is the right time to put these responses out there.
I just think people deserve to see what vendors and attendees actually reported.

Ah yes, another fair post. But hear me out
So, with Al’s sadly not at the fair this year, who’s got your favorite fresh fries? No frills, just hot, crispy and salty fries. Bonus points if they have malt vinegar as an option
Side bar - at this point the state fair should be a seasonal flair option.

The habaneros were plentiful! And the sauce turned out fantastic!

With this rain there wasn’t any line at my early voting site this morning. Take advantage!

Thank you for your help in advance. Going with the fam. Do you guys recommend ubering or driving?
r/raleigh • u/RussellK40 • 11h ago
Any suggestions? Just moved here and I'm overwhelmed by the number of shops in the area who install PPF. They all claim they're the best. I'm looking for a quality installer who won't cut the paint and has the talent to create a seamless installation.

It’s much hotter much later in the year now, so all those nasty palmetto bugs that go away once it cools down are still everywhere. I live in the woods so they just live in my backyard and love to crawl in, no matter how clean everything is.
Usually they disappear around this time of year but I’m seeing more of those fuckers than ever. Yuck. I fucking hate cockroaches man

Hey all. So I am reaching out to get more info on the upcoming referenda voting. Yes, I can do my own research, but sometimes tend to miss some important details and have heard that some of the wording may be misleading. I plan on doing early voting as well to hopefully avoid any election day issues.
Would love to hear from local voices that are aware of the topics. Was hoping to get advice and maybe someone to break down each topic we are voting for. I'm sure I'm not the only one that may not fully understand it and would love to know what I'm actually voting for.
I plan to vote for what's best for all the people of Raleigh and not to benefit corporations or huge businesses trying to get more money or cause harm if that will change anyone's response to this post.

TL;DR - high rent, poor construction, the fire alarm system throws enough false positives (last winter went off 6 consecutive times, today at 5AM for a false alarm, and quite a few instances more than it should be during a year), the parking garage sucks (if you’re outside the gate even as a resident for 15 minutes, you get fined due to them selling it to Power Parking), pool sis poorly situated and only gets 2 or so hours of sun in the summer, the deck and pool are also tiny, you’re really screwed if you have a heavy stepper living above you, and Kane sucks as an entity.
Staff is top notch though

Preferably north Raleigh, brier creek area. Craving shrimp fried rice but haven’t tried any hibachi restaurants in a long time.

Okay so for the longest time, my boyfriend and I have been joking/speculating about what goes on at the health department buildings off six forks.
There's always those blue flashing lights and they're always empty. Are they shut down? Does anything go on there, like clinics or medical popups etc?
I can't ever find anything on Google and I am just genuinely curious as to what theyre used for 😭. Please let me know if y'all have any ideas.
r/raleigh • u/UnluckyPhilosophy797 • 1d ago
I had such a great conversation with 3, 19 year olds yesterday who were out to vote. We need our youth to send a message. You can register/update voter registration at the early voting site AND then vote immediately after. It does not take long.

Constant running of red lights, following way too closely, speeding, high beams on all the time. I've never seen traffic behave so badly in my 22 years of driving.
What's the deal?
r/raleigh • u/Lil_Afternoon_Delite • 1d ago
It’s that time of year! 🍂
The booms you hear around 9:30 p.m. are fireworks at the fair. Yes, you can hear them all the way up to North Raleigh and Wake Forest!
And that big, colorful spider making webs outside your house? It’s an orb weaver. A little startling, but very common.
Anyone else have a considerate Raleigh fall PSA to share?
