Voting districts for state, county, and city elections are redrawn using census results to ensure that voting districts are roughly equal in population.
Congressional districts will also be redrawn as part of reapportionment & adjusting for population changes.

The bill that would allow NC cities to delay 2021 city elections still has to be approved by the NC House, so keep watching this issue.
Municipal elections tend to have low voter turn-out, but they are VERY important! City officials make lots of impactful decisions.
