Elections in North Carolina |

![]() |
An election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect all 120 members to North Carolina's House of Representatives. The election coincided with the elections for other offices, including the U.S Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and state senate. The primary election was originally going to be held on March 8, 2022, with a run-off in June 2022; however, the North Carolina Supreme Court delayed the primary until May 17, 2022, pending challenges over the State's districts and paused candidate filing.[1] Prior to this pause, several candidates had already filed to run.[2] The elections would be held under new districts passed by the General Assembly in House Bill 976 to account for population changes following the 2020 census.[3] The maps were later overturned by the North Carolina Supreme Court, who ordered the legislature to draw new maps. The North Carolina General Assembly later redrew the maps (House Bill 980) which were upheld by the Wake County Superior Court and the North Carolina Supreme Court.[4] Candidate filing resumed on February 24, 2022, and concluded on March 4, 2022.[5]
