– Page initiated Nov. 3, 2021

An archive of links to materials from candidates in the 2022 election cycle. This page begins with the names of people who have shared materials with the Forum about their candidacies. After filing closes, all names on the primary ballot will be added; links under names will connect readers to materials on this site about that candidate. Materials on this site may include video from candidates’ appearances at the Forum, comments by surrogates making statements on their behalf, and newsletters and other campaign materials. After the primary, the “Primary Elections: Candidates by office” list will be duplicated and renamed “General Elections: Candidates by office” and the unsuccessful primary candidates will be removed. The Primary Elections list will drop to the bottom of this page.

Filing for most offices begins Dec. 6 and closes Dec. 17. A first primary is scheduled March 8, with a second, if needed, held May 17. General elections for Charlotte mayor and Charlotte City Council are April 26, except that they will be held May 17 if a second federal/state primary is needed. The county website listed filing for school board seats as opening July 25 and closing Aug. 12. The 2022 General Election is Nov. 8. All these dates are subject to change.
