People across Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina are either getting ready to cast their ballot in the November election or they have already done so.
Some people who opted to mail in their vote this year have found issues; their envelopes were sealed shut when they arrived.

She was curious if anyone else in the city was having the same problem. I learned, yes.
Al-Hazza was not the only person this happened to.
It happened to a producer who works at News 3 and lives in Norfolk and another woman in Virginia Beach that we met while talking to voters.
“I do mail-in voting because I’ve done a lot of travel medicine, and I’m not always where I normally live to be able to vote,” said Joule O’Connor.
