Who's on the election ballot in Wake, Durham, Orange, Cumberland County?

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — While it may seem like we’re in a never ending election cycle, Election Day is Tuesday. With the exception of Raleigh, voters in most municipalities around the Triangle will be deciding their future leaders.

Here’s a break-down of major seats up for a vote on Tuesday.
