The 2015 Charlotte mayoral election took place on November 3, 2015, to elect the Mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina. Mayoral elections in Charlotte are biennial, with the winner being sworn-in in December.


Primary elections were held on September 15, 2015, with primary runoffs held on October 6 since no candidate takes more than 40% of the vote.


Incumbent Democratic Party Mayor Dan Clodfelter has been in office since April 2014. He was appointed by the Charlotte City Council after Mayor Patrick Cannon, who was elected in 2013, resigned in March 2014 after being arrested for corruption. Cannon was later convicted and sentenced to 44 months in prison.[1][2]


In December 2014, Clodfelter filed to run in the 2015 election.[3]

Roberts won the Sept. 15 primary but she did not receive 40 percent of the vote, and in such cases, North Carolina law allows for a "second primary," or runoff, between the top two vote-getters.[9] The runner-up, Clodfelter, requested a runoff which will was held on October 6th. [10]
