Who's running for Charlotte City Council in 2025
Candidate filing has wrapped for the 2025 municipal elections, and the races are on. This year, Charlotte residents will elect a mayor, four at-large members and one person to represent them from their district.
Why it matters: Local elections are often overlooked, but city council members make consequential decisions related to affordable housing, transportation, police and more.
Primary Election Day is Tuesday, Sept. 9. Early voting starts Thursday, Aug. 21. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4.
