Election officials say there have been few problems – none major – with voting in the Charlotte area Tuesday.

Many election officials say the short waits are in part because of the state's record turnout of early voters. Some precinct chairs say almost half of their precincts' registered voters cast their ballots before Tuesday morning.

In Mecklenburg County alone, there are more than 5,600 teens pre-registered to vote.
