How the North Carolina 2026 Primary Election Works
North Carolina uses a partisan primary system where voters choose either a Republican or Democratic ballot when they vote in the primary. Unaffiliated voters may choose which party’s primary ballot to participate in. The winner of each primary advances to the November 2026 general election.
Runoff Elections (Second Primary)
In North Carolina, most primary contests require a candidate to receive at least 30% of the vote to win outright. If no candidate reaches the 30% threshold, the top two candidates advance to a second primary (runoff) election. Second primaries are typically held several weeks after the initial primary.
What Happens After the Primary?
Primary winners become their party’s official nominees for the November general election. Live results on this page are updated in real time as counties across North Carolina report vote totals.
