Early voting ends Saturday in North Carolina, and Mecklenburg County residents can cast their ballots at 33 locations, including Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center and Bojangles Coliseum.

At Spectrum Center in uptown, free parking options as well as public transit are available. Free parking is also available near the Panthers stadium and Bojangles.

The more traditional polling sites, such as libraries and schools, are still options for voters throughout the Charlotte region. An interactive map of all early voting sites in the county is included at the bottom of this story.

As of Thursday, nearly 433,200 residents have voted early.

For those voting by mail, the new deadline for mail-in ballots to be received is Nov. 12, though ballots must still be postmarked on or before Nov. 3, Election Day, The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported Wednesday.

Voters can go to any of the 33 early voting sites. All sites are open from 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30. On the final day of early voting on Saturday, they’re open from 8 am.-3 p.m.
