CHARLOTTE — The Mecklenburg County Board of Elections says the two unaffiliated candidates trying to get on the November ballot for city council still have a long ways to go.
State law requires unaffiliated candidates to collect signatures of 1.5% of registered district voters.
In District 2, the Board of Elections says Lia White has collected 178 of the required 1,432 signatures.
In District 3, the BOE says Robin Emmons has collected 322 of the required 1,382 signatures.
An update on the unaffiliated candidates attempting to get on the Charlotte City Council November ballot. They have until September 19 to collect enough valid signatures of registered voters.
