An open U.S. Senate seat highlights North Carolina’s statewide primary. Former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley each appear in strong positions in their respective contests. There are also multiple contested U.S. House primaries and some shifts to the state’s map due to redistricting (see https://www.wunc.org/politics/2025-10-22/nc-republicans-pass-new-congressional-map-its-meant-to-help-them-pick-up-a-seat).
If no candidate receives more than 30% support in a contest, a runoff can be requested between the top two finishers on May 12. Voter registration deadlines in North Carolina: https://apps.npr.org/voter-registration-2026-mail/north-carolina.html
