2( Wilson. Craven and Pitt counties have individual features associated with their pure district methods that should be acknowledged and are explained in Appendix B, Only two counties, Currituck and Jackson, use the Combination of Pure At- Large and DistrictlAt-Large method of electing commissioners, In both cases, one commissioner is elected on a countywide, at-large basis while the four other conurussioners must reside in particular districts, but are elected on a countywide basis. The remaining 4 counties in the state, Beaufort, Bladen, Martin, and Surry, utilize more elaborate election methods. These methods include certain aspects of some of the other election formats, but feature limited voting plans where candidates may file as a group for open seats, voters are only allowed to vote for a limited number of candidates (specifically in multi- member districts), and the primary and/or general election results can be determined by a plurality, The details of those counties' election methods for county commissioners are sununarized in Appendix B.
