This October all of Raleigh City Council’s eight seats (including the Mayor’s) will be up for election. The City Council makes decisions that impact the daily lives of everyone living in Raleigh (learn more here), but less than 16% of Raleighites even bother to vote.
To help we’re compiling a list of candidates as they register with the board of elections. We’re also providing links to their social media pages and websites so you can quickly learn about each person’s platform, and engage with them.
This list is updated daily and is based on information from the Wake County Board of Elections Website. The last update was July 25th 1:00 PM.
