The delay of the 2020 US Census information is the reason for this special Charlotte municipal election in July. Municipal elections are normally held in odd-numbered years, however the city of Charlotte did not have the Census information in time to redraw City Council districts for the 2021 election. All other Mecklenburg municipalities held their elections as usual in 2021 since they have no districts to redraw. This is a very unusual time for an election, so we need you to help spread the word about the July Charlotte municipal elections.

In-person early voting for the Charlotte municipal elections begins on July 7 and 8 at the Hal Marshall Annex only. Additional locations will open on July 11. Please see below for schedule.

July 7 and 8: 8 AM - 7:30 PM at Hal Marshall Annex
