About

What is this project?

Raleigh, You Have Options is a community-created election information project documenting proposed alternatives in Raleigh’s 2026 City Council elections and helping residents understand ballot procedures and early-voting opportunities.

This guide is created by the community. It is not an official election document, and it doesn't come from the City of Raleigh, Wake County, or the NC State Board of Elections. Names and ballot status should be checked against official election records.

Where this comes from

Last updated October 19, 2026

What we checked: that each name marked “Fill in the bubble” is printed on Wake County's sample ballots for that office, and that each early-voting site, address, and hour matches Wake County's official schedule.
