North Carolina

North Carolina has more than 550 cities, towns and villages — also known as municipalities. Municipalities are local governments, which make decisions about development, policing, trash service, local taxation, and other issues that affect voters’ daily lives. 

Most municipalities in North Carolina conduct elections in odd-numbered years, including 2025. This is when voters choose who will represent them in local government offices, such as mayor and councilperson. Some municipalities may also conduct referenda on property tax or other matters.
