Who is running for election?
Several statewide races will be on the ballot in 2026, including U.S. Senate and several judiciary roles. All of the state’s 14 U.S. Congressional seats are up for election, along with the 50 Senate seats and 120 House seats in the North Carolina General Assembly.
Not all 170 state House and Senate races will be competitive. Some races don’t have candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties. Local races include county commissioners, sheriffs and school boards.
The primary is crucial for many local races where all candidates are of the same party.
