New Hanover County Democratic Party holds straw vote for 2025 election candidates
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The New Hanover County Democratic Party held a straw vote on Tuesday to help determine who will be running for Wilmington City Council and mayor later this year.
The party used a similar process back in 2023, where precinct and other local leaders within the party cast votes for candidates.
The party says this kind of event is important because of a previous election where 4 democrats ran for county commissioner.
One lost their race by a small margin because some people voted for the fourth candidate.
