Why Your Vote in Charlotte Matters More Than Ever

​

In Charlotte’s last municipal election, less than 15% of registered voters showed up to the polls—and turnout was even lower in many Black and Latino neighborhoods. That means a small group of voters decided who would lead our city, shape youth programs, fund community safety initiatives, and represent your voice at City Hall.

​

Local elections impact your daily life more than federal ones—from how safe your streets are, to what opportunities exist for our kids. When you vote, you’re not just choosing a mayor—you’re choosing a vision for Charlotte’s future.

​

Let’s make sure this time, our voices are heard. Our neighborhoods are represented. Our youth are prioritized.
