All municipalities run a non-partisan plurality election method, except for the City of New Bern which runs a non-partisan runoff election method with the election held in October. If there are any runoffs, they are held in November of the same year. Runoffs are when no candidate for a single office receives a majority of the total votes cast for that office.
