Why vote in city elections — including in the Primary?
City elections shape the decisions that directly affect your daily life: schools, roads, public safety, and housing. But did you know that in some cases, races are decided entirely during the Primary Election?
In Charlotte, the September primary determines who gets on the ballot for the general election in November. Your vote matters, especially in city races where just a few votes can make the difference. Don’t sit this one out.
