Hendersonville adds transportation bond referendum on ballot for primary election

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — The City of Hendersonville has announced that voters will vote on a Transportation General Obligation Bond referendum during the primary election.

According to a news release, if the referendum is approved, it would authorize the city to issue up to $10 million in General Obligation bonds to help fund transportation infrastructure improvements.

Bond proceeds would be supplemented by around $900,000 in existing transportation funding annually for five years, equaling up to a total of $14.5 million for transportation projects.

The City of Hendersonville says the funding would go to three primary areas: street repaving, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements, and complete streets and connectivity projects.

And primaries are run by parties. They would have the issue on both D and R primaries, and ballots!
Does NC restrict primary voting to registered members of each party, or can anyone vote?

And how do you do the count?

What am I missing?
