Now that the candidates for the municipal elections in Beaufort County are known, voters will elect mayors, council members, aldermen and commissioners from those listed on ballots.

Election Day is Nov. 5. The deadline to register to vote in the seven municipal elections is Oct. 11. Voters will have opportunities to vote early, too.

“There’ll be the regular, normal one-stop voting,” according to Kellie Harris Hopkins, elections director for Beaufort County, on Monday. “That will start Oct. 17 and end Nov. 2. We do not normally increase hours or open satellite offices for municipals because the municipalities pay for the municipal elections.”

Voters also may request absentee ballots, Hopkins noted.

The one-stop voting will take place at the Board of Elections office, 1308 Highland Drive, Suite 104, Washington. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 2 for the final day of one-stop voting.

Municipal elections in Beaufort County are nonpartisan.

In Washington, Mac “Bear” Hodges is the lone candidate for mayor.

Seeking seats on the five-member City Council are Ty Carter, Richard Brooks, Gil Davis, Lloyd May, Doug Mercer, Bobby Roberson, William H. Pitt and Larry Beeman.

In Aurora, Mayor Clif Williams is seeking re-election. Patricia Bragg and Raleigh B. Lee III are seeking the two seats on the Aurora Board of Commissioners that are available this election cycle.

W.C. Boyd Jr. filed as a candidate to finish the unexpired term of George Jones, who was elected in 2011 but did not complete his term. In March, Boyd was appointed to the seat once held by Jones. Because at least half of the term remains, a special election is required to elect a commissioner to complete the term.

In Bath, incumbents Patricia Duffer and Jay Hardin filed for re-election to that town’s Board of Commissioners. Bath commissioners serve four-year terms.

Belhaven voters have two choices for mayor, incumbent Adam O’Neal and Ronald Winfield.

Incumbent Steve Carawan and Tony Williams are vying for the east-end seat available on the Board of Aldermen this election cycle. Greg Satterthwaite is seeking the west-end seat available on the board this election cycle.

Julian P. Goff is seeking to finish out the unexpired term of Cindy Ross, who vacated her seat on the board after being elected to it in 2011.

The mayor serves a two-year term. Commissioners serve four-year terms.

Chocowinity Mayor Jimmy Mobley filed for re-election, as did incumbents Billy Albritton and Louise Furman. The mayor and commissioners serve four-year terms.

Pantego voters will elect a new mayor, with current Commissioner Stuart E. Ricks the lone candidate who filed for the mayor’s post. Unless a write-in candidate defeats Ricks, he will replace current Mayor Glenda Jackson. Five candidates are running for the five seats on that town’s Board of Commissioners. They are incumbents Mart Benson, Chad Keech and Robert F. Edwards. Also seeking seats on the board are Reid Michael Gelderman and Charles F. “Chuck” Williams.

The mayor and commissioners serve two-year terms.
