2026 General Election · November 3, 2026
This guide is nonpartisan voter education. It does not support or oppose any candidate or political party. Any endorsements shown were made by the organizations named, not by this guide.
How to read this guide
This guide covers U.S. Senate, U.S. House, N.C. Supreme Court, N.C. Court of Appeals, N.C. Senate and N.C. House contests. It does not cover Superior Court, District Court, district attorney, or county and local contests. Some counties are split between districts, so you may not vote in every contest shown. Check the contests on your own ballot using the State Board of Elections voter lookup.
Congressional district lines in this county changed in 2025, so both U.S. House District 1 and District 3 are shown. Check your ballot to see which one you vote in.
