Voters across Bladen County will go to the polls Nov. 7 to choose mayors and members of town councils and boards of commissioners.

Municipal governing boards, which are typically led by mayors, are responsible for using taxpayers’ money to fund services such as law enforcement and trash collection. They also have the final say over proposed development projects, including new homes and businesses, within town limits.
