Hurricane Helene battered rural mountain towns in North Carolina , a key voting bloc for Trump .

Some analysts and candidates expect turnout to be lower in the region as people rebuild.

North Carolina is a critical battleground state, with Trump and Harris polling neck-and-neck.

Early voting began October 17 , and state election officials said in-person turnout topped a previous record set in 2020 .

Even so, people who've lost their homes and loved ones probably aren't thinking about voting, said Bob Phillips , executive director at Common Cause North Carolina , a voter rights group. But it's hard to predict how Helene will affect turnout. North Carolina election officials made emergency changes to expand voting access for residents recovering from the storm. "Helene will be a part of this election, and we'll just have to see what the drop off is," Phillips said. Were you impacted by Hurricane Helene and want to share your voting story?
