Charlotte City Council · City Council Special Meeting on 2026-06-18 12:00 PM - Mayoral Candidate Interviews - Jun 18, 2026 · 18 Jun 2026 meeting

Consensus of 11, that might be a little bit more difficult, but six is the minimum threshold.

I think we have the opportunity to do better than six for this person that's going to be stepping in.

So I do agree that we should have a threshold.

I just don't think it should be as low as three.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And maybe this, what you just spoke to, maybe addresses my question.

Madam Attorney, can you just remind us of what you recommended, if anything, last time in terms of number of nominations for the day of?

For the day of, Dr. Otlington, thank you for the question.

For the day of, each council member, I recommended that each council member would have one vote.

Okay.

And the minimum threshold in, in reference to council member Mayfield's point, I suggested it at a minimum three to keep it, to keep it moving forward, to advance to subsequent balance balance if required.

Um, but certainly it's council's pleasure.

Okay.

So with that, I, I would, I would, um, support keeping it at three simply because if we each only get one vote and you get more than.

I just not sure how that would even work.

If you have to have at least five, that means only two people could even be in contention.

And that means the other person lost.

So I'm saying if you're saying that you have to have five or six or seven to get it and we each only cast one vote, if one person has five and then the others have three and three, for example, that means we are awarding, I don't want to say awarding, we're appointing a mayor with less than a council majority vote and that doesn't feel procedurally correct.

The one noteworthy distinction between the MPTA process and this process is that each council member only has one vote.

You had multiple votes.
