Oct. 13. The Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce will host a two-hour candidate forum tonight at the Huntersville Town Hall, focusing on NC House District 92—the seat formerly held by Charles Jeter. The race now is between Chaz Beasley, a Democrat, and Danae Caulfield, a Republican.

The forum will be moderated by Callan H. Bryan, chairman of the chamber.

One stop/early voting will begin next week in Cornelius at Town Hall under a new schedule adopted by the county Board of Elections. Voters can cast their ballots starting Thursday Oct. 20 from 8 am to 7 pm weekdays, 10-6 Saturdays and 1-6 pm Sundays. The early voting will conclude at 1 pm Saturday Nov. 5.
