2022 Charlotte mayoral election
The 2022 mayoral election in Charlotte, North Carolina was held on July 26, 2022. This represents a delay from the original schedule of the election, which would ordinarily have taken place in November 2021. Delays in the United States Census prompted delays for cities in the state that elect city council members by district in odd-numbered years. Charlotte's City Council had the option of holding the mayoral election on schedule in 2021 but voted to hold all elections at the same time.
