An election was held on November 3, 2020 to elect all 120 members to North Carolina's House of Representatives. The election coincided with the elections for other offices, including the Presidency, U.S Senate, Governor, U.S. House of Representatives, and state senate. The primary election was held on March 3, 2020 with a run-off on June 23, 2020.[1][2]

Background

In October 2020, The Washington Post identified this state election, along with the concurrent North Carolina Senate election, as one of eight whose outcomes could affect partisan balance during post-census redistricting.[3] New districts are being used in this election.[4][5]
