→2019: Redid election tables, using the standard election box template for at-large. Added named write-ins to the total write-ins for at-large. For districts, combined named write-ins into total write-ins, updating percentages. Unbolded all but the winners, removed the Result row as it is redundant with the bolding. Pointed out incumbents.

The Charlotte City Council is the legislative body of the City of Charlotte and forms part of a council–manager system of government. The Council is made up of eleven members and the Mayor, all elected to two-year terms in odd-numbered years. Four Council Members are elected at-large with the other seven representing districts. Though elected separately, the Mayor presides over City Council meetings. A Mayor Pro Tem is elected by the members of the City Council to preside when the Mayor is absent, and to assume the office of Mayor in an acting capacity should the Mayor no longer be able to do so.[1]
