Town of Davidson Board of Commissioners

Davidson has five town commissioners and a mayor.

Previously, town commissioners served two-year terms, but in 2023, Davidson voters approved a change to staggered four-year terms. In this election, voters can vote for up to five commissioner candidates (six are running, including four incumbents), and the top two vote-getters will serve four-year terms, with the other three serving two-year terms.

Key duties include setting town policy, enacting ordinances, approving the budget, and overseeing the town manager, who handles daily operations.

Davidson’s population is 15,000 and the median household income is one of the highest in the county at approximately $150,000. Thirty percent of Davidson’s registered voters are Democrat, 23% are Republican and 46% are unaffiliated.

The races are nonpartisan, which means candidates’ political parties will not be listed on the ballot.
