The Raleigh mayoral election of 2009 was held on 6 October 2009 to elect a
Mayor of
Raleigh, North Carolina. It was won by incumbent
Charles Meeker, who defeated
Larry D. Hudson, II in the first-round primary. Because Meeker won more than 50% in the first round, there was no need for a run-off.
It was officially a non-partisan contest, but Meeker had won four previous elections as a Democrat.
