Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin is facing petitions after the council voted to ask the state to move the elections from October 2021 to November 2022 as well. The council is also asking for a permanent move to even year elections and ending run-offs and moving to the first past the post system. The system was approved, and most municipalities in the state were pushed to the March primary.
The effort originally targeted the eight city councilmembers as well, but now they are just looking at Baldwin.
Petitioners are looking to gather 14,000 signatures. Petitioners include two former city council members who lost in 2019.
