Elections in North Carolina |
---|
The North Carolina Council of State elections of 2024 are scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024, to select the ten officers of the North Carolina Council of State. These elections coincide with the presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the North Carolina General Assembly and top state courts. Primary elections are scheduled for March 5, 2024, for offices for which more than one candidate filed per party.
The ten members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms.[1]
The 2020 elections resulted in a Council of State consisting of 4 Democrats and 6 Republicans.[2]
