On June 24, the North Carolina legislature passed HB 3, which switches elections for city office for various cities from non-partisan to partisan elections. One of those cities, Monroe, is affected by the bill. According to this news story, the city wasn’t even consulted about the change.
Monroe is in Union County, near Charlotte. Monroe has a population of 34,000.

What does Puerto Rico have to do with North Carolina?
It appears that the legislative drafting office goobered an amendment. A floor amendment actually struck the word “PARTISAN” from a title that read “CITY OF MONROE – PARTISAN ELECTTIONS” so that now reads: “CITY OF MONROE – ELECTIONS” but when switching some text to move from odd to even years, they left in text that provided for partisan elections.
