The North Carolina Council of State elections of 2024 were held on November 5, 2024, to select the ten officers of the North Carolina Council of State. These elections coincided with the presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the North Carolina General Assembly and top state courts. Primary elections took place on March 5, 2024, for offices for which more than one candidate filed per party.

Contents

The ten members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms. [1]

The November general election had mixed results for both parties. The Republican Party picked up the office of State Auditor while maintaining control of the offices of State Treasurer, Agriculture Commissioner, Labor Commissioner, and Insurance Commissioner. In contrast, the Democrats held the offices of Attorney General, Governor, and Secretary of State, while also flipping the offices of Lieutenant Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction. [2]

Governor

The 2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the governor of North Carolina. Democratic state attorney general Josh Stein won his first term in office, defeating Republican lieutenant governor Mark Robinson. He will succeed Democratic incumbent Roy Cooper, who was term-limited.

Lieutenant governor

Incumbent Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a Republican, was eligible to run for a second term, but decided instead to run for governor. [3]

The 2024 North Carolina lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the lieutenant governor of North Carolina. Democratic state senator Rachel Hunt won her first term in office, defeating Republican state official Hal Weatherman. She will succeed Republican incumbent Mark Robinson, who did not seek re-election in order to unsuccessfully run for governor. [4]

Attorney general

The 2024 North Carolina Attorney General election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next attorney general of North Carolina. Democratic congressman Jeff Jackson defeated Republican congressman Dan Bishop in the contest to succeed Democratic incumbent Josh Stein, who did not seek re-election in order to run for governor. Republicans have not won a North Carolina attorney general election since 1896.

Secretary of state

The 2024 North Carolina Secretary of State election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the secretary of state of North Carolina, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various other state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Elaine Marshall won re-election to an eighth term in office, defeating Republican nominee Chad Brown. [5] This is the only Democratic-held secretary of state held up for election in 2024 in a state Donald Trump won in 2020. Primary elections took place on March 5, 2024. [6]

Elected State Auditor

Dave Boliek
Republican

Incumbent Democratic Auditor Beth Wood initially said she would run for re-election to a fifth term in office. However, her career was derailed when she pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run charge in March 2023. [7] On November 1, 2023, Wood announced that she would not seek re-election, and on November 9 announced that she would resign effective December 15. [8] Governor Roy Cooper appointed Democrat Jessica Holmes to replace Wood. Holmes is a former Wake County commissioner and was the Democratic nominee for North Carolina Commissioner of Labor in 2020. [9]

Holmes lost in the general election to Republican challenger Dave Boliek on November 5, 2024. [10]
