7 <br /> CURRENT VOTING METHOD FOR ELECTING <br /> MEMBERS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF <br /> COMMISSIONERS <br /> Currently Orange County elects seven (7) commissioners. Two <br /> commissioners are elected at-large, meaning candidates must reside <br /> somewhere in Orange County, and voters from the entire county vote on <br /> these candidates in both primaries and general elections. There are two <br /> multi-member districts. District 1 encompasses the Chapel Hill and <br /> Carrboro area and has three seats. District 2 includes the rest of Orange <br /> County and has two seats. Candidates for these seats must reside in the <br /> district in which they are running. In primaries, voters living in District One <br /> vote only on District One candidates, and voters from District Two vote <br /> only on District Two candidates. In general elections, voters from the <br /> whole county can vote in both District One and District Two races. <br /> 4 <br />
