The fall 2021 elections for mayor, city council and town board in at least 35 North Carolina cities and towns could be postponed until next year because the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 population data is being released well behind its usual schedule.
Those elections normally are held in September, October and November. It appears they will be postponed until March and May of 2022, and possibly later.

Filing for the 2022 elections normally would start in early December.
