After delays caused by the Census and court challenges, the 2022 elections finally have both dates and candidates. The statewide primary has been set for Tuesday, May 17, and the general elections will be Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Voters are picking candidates for Congress, the N.C. General Assembly, Wilson County Board of Commissioners, Wilson County sheriff and half the membership of the Wilson County Board of Education. Most of those races won't be decided until November.

The May 17 election, though, will determine the membership of the Wilson City Council. Voters who live in Districts 3, 5, 6 and 7 will choose their council members for the next four years. These races were all delayed from November 2021 due to the need to redistrict.

The other three districts (1, 2 and 4) and the mayor will be up for election in 2023.  Everyone elected next year would serve until 2027.
This is an excellent time to check your election districts, especially since City Council district lines were changed in November 2021. Find your Election Day polling place by clicking the link below.
