Even-Year Elections/City of Jacksonville.
This bill changes the election schedule for the City of Jacksonville so that regular municipal elections occur in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered years. It amends the city charter to specify that all future regular elections will be held biennially in even years, aligning the timing with other North Carolina municipalities. To manage the transition, the law extends the current terms of some council members and the mayor by one year, ensuring that the next election takes place in 2026 rather than 2025.
