The North Carolina Council of State elections of 2012 were held November 6, 2012 to select the nine officers of the North Carolina Council of State. This election coincided with the U.S. presidential election, U.S. House elections, the gubernatorial election and the statewide judicial elections. Primary elections were held on May 8, 2012; for races in which no candidate received 40 percent of the vote in the primary, runoff elections (officially known as "second" primaries) were held on July 17. [1] [2]

Contents

The nine members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms. [3] In the 2012 elections, all incumbents who ran for new terms were re-elected, while the Governor and Lieutenant Governor's seats were open following incumbent Bev Perdue's decision to retire, and Walter Dalton's decision to run for governor, respectively.

The partisan makeup of the Council of State changed from 8 Democrats and 2 Republicans before the election to 6 Democrats and 4 Republicans afterward, as Republicans flipped both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.

Governor

Republican Pat McCrory was elected governor.

Lieutenant governor

Republican Dan Forest was elected lieutenant governor.

Attorney general

Roy Cooper, the Democratic incumbent attorney general, ran for re-election unopposed. [4]
