In metals, charge carriers are electrons. In electrolytes (for example) charge carriers can be both positive ions and negative ions. In semiconductors, we speak of both positive charge carriers (holes) and negative charge carriers (electrons).
I note some language in this thread that might be read to say that in all conductors, or in metals, holes are involved as charge carriers.
