2025 voter guide: Charlotte area’s local candidates answer our questions
Voters across Mecklenburg County will have their say in town board, city council and school board elections on Nov. 4.
Early voting is underway, and it ends Nov. 1.
To equip voters with information they need before heading to the polls, The Charlotte Observer distributed surveys to candidates for local offices across the region and compiled the answers in our voter guide. You’ll find candidate answers by using the embedded graphic below. Start here to read our coverage about a sales tax referendum that also will be on all Mecklenburg County ballots in November.
In Charlotte, Cornelius, Huntersville, Matthews, Davidson mayor and Pineville mayor elections, winners will receive a two-year term. Meanwhile, winners in Davidson commissioners, Mint Hill, Pineville Town Council and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education elections will receive four-year terms.
