Laura Leslie, WRAL — Legislation pushing elections in dozens of cities across North Carolina from this fall to next year is headed to Gov. Roy Cooper following final Senate passage Monday night. The U.S. Census Bureau has said detailed population breakdowns from the 2020 census won’t be available until September. Some cities need that data to redraw council districts to reflect changes in their population since 2010, and the delayed data wouldn’t give them time to do that and allow candidates to file and campaign before fall elections.
