Question: In what year did voters of the state with Raleigh as its capital, once again vote for a member of the political party Mayor Sylvester Turner belongs to?

Since Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter's comfortable victory in the state in 1976, the state had consistently leaned Republican in presidential elections until Democrat Barack Obama narrowly won the state in 2008. North Carolina's party loyalties have undergone a series of important shifts in the last few years: While the 2010 midterms saw Tar Heel voters elect a bicameral Republican majority legislature for the first time in over a century, North Carolina has also become a Southern swing state in presidential races. In the 1990s, Democrat Bill Clinton came within a point of winning the state in 1992 and also only narrowly lost the state in 1996. In the early 2000s, Republican George W. Bush easily won the state by over 12 points, but by 2008, demographic shifts, population growth, and increased liberalization in heavily populated areas such as the Research Triangle, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, and Asheville, propelled Barack Obama to victory in North Carolina, the first Democrat to win the state since 1976. In 2012, North Carolina was again considered a competitive swing state, with the Democrats even holding their 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. However, Republican Mitt Romney ultimately eked out a 2-point win in North Carolina, the only 2012 swing state that Obama lost, and one of only two states (along with Indiana) to flip from Obama in 2008 to the GOP in 2012. <SEP> the mayor of paris is elected indirectly by paris voters; the voters of each arrondissement elect the conseil de paris (council of paris), composed of 163 members. each arrondissement has a number of members depending upon its population, from 10 members for each of the least-populated arrondissements (1st through 9th) to 36 members for the most populated (the 15th). the elected council members select the mayor. sometimes the candidate who receives the most votes city-wide is not selected if the other candidate has won the support of the majority of council members. mayor bertrand delanoë (2001-2014) was elected by only a minority of city voters, but a majority of council members. once elected, the council plays a largely passive role in the city government; it meets only once a month. the current council is divided between a coalition of the left of 91 members, including the socialists, communists, greens, and extreme left; and 71 members for the centre right, plus a few members from smaller parties. <SEP> It is the second most populous city in North Carolina, after Charlotte. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 142.8 square miles (370 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population to be 439,896 as of July 1, 2014. Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee) is the capital of the state of North Carolina as well as the seat of Wake County in the United States. It is also one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. The city of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. <SEP> in the united states, the term "the 51st state" when applied to canada can serve to highlight the similarities and close relationship between the united states and canada. sometimes the term is used disparagingly, intended to deride canada as an unimportant neighbor. in the quebec general election, 1989, the political party parti 51 ran 11 candidates on a platform of quebec seceding from canada to join the united states (with its leader, andré perron, claiming quebec could not survive as an independent nation). the party attracted just 3,846 votes across the province, 0.11% of the total votes cast. in comparison, the other parties in favour of sovereignty of quebec in that election got 40.16% (pq) and 1.22% (npdq). <SEP> The city of Houston has a strong mayoral form of municipal government.
