What are primaries and general elections?
In primaries in North Carolina, you vote only in the primary of the party with which you are affiliated. If you register unaffiliated you may be allowed to vote in a primary if a party allows unaffiliated voters to vote in their primary. (Both Democrat and Republican parties currently allow unaffiliated voters to participate in their primaries.) In a primary you nominate party candidates and in a general election you elect officials for the offices up for election.
