Election Day: Democrats Clodfelter, Roberts face off in mayoral runoff
At stake: Runoff will determine whether Dan Clodfelter or Jennifer Roberts will be the Democratic mayoral nominee. The winner faces Republican Edwin Peacock on Nov. 3.
Who can vote: Democrats, whether they voted Sept. 15 or not, can cast a ballot. So can unaffiliated voters – unless they voted in the Republican primary. Libertarians and Republicans can’t vote.
Voting day: Charlotte polls open at 6:30 a.m and close at 7:30 p.m. With turnout expected at less than 4 percent, don’t be deterred by the prospect of long lines.
Early voting: A total of 4,114 people voted early. That included about 2,500 women and 1,500 men. About 2,100 African-Americans and 1,800 whites voted early.
