The election date was postponed last year because of COVID-related delays getting new census numbers. The city is required to use new population data to draw new city council districts every 10 years.

Greensboro is one of a handful of cities in North Carolina electing their next mayors and city councils Tuesday. Charlotte and Fayetteville also elected their next municipal leaders.

The new city council will be sworn in for the next term on Aug. 11.
