SB 1077 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

City of New Bern Even-Year Elections.

This bill amends the City of New Bern's charter to shift regular municipal elections from odd-numbered even-numbered years to even-numbered even-numbered years, starting in 2030. The change directly affects the city's mayor and board of aldermen by altering the schedule for their nonpartisan elections and runoff procedures. Additionally, the legislation extends the terms of officials whose current mandates expire in 2029 to ensure they serve until the new election cycle begins. The act also maintains existing rules for filling vacancies on the board of aldermen through appointments or special elections.
