Pittsboro Municipal Election: In-Person Voting starts October 14th

The Pittsboro Municipal election is upon us. This year residents of Pittsboro will elect their Mayor and two Town Commissioners. The Mayor serves a two year term, Town Commissioners serve four year terms. Only registered voters who live inside the city limits may vote. Just because your mailing address is Pittsboro, does not mean you are in the town.

The election is non-partisian. All that really means is there is no primary.

Three ways to vote

EARLY BY MAIL: October 3 through Election Day November 2nd. You must request a ballot. Details below.

EARLY IN-PERSON: Vote at the Chatham County Agricultural Center from Thursday, October 14 through Saturday, October 30th.

HOURS: Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.–5 p.m, and Saturdays October 23 & 30 from 8 a.m.–3 p.m.

ELECTION DAY IN-PERSON: Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Polls are open from 6:30 a.m.–7:30 p.m. at the Chatham County Agricultural Center.
