If there is a vacancy in the General Assembly of North Carolina, the governor is responsible for appointing a replacement.[4][5]

When making an appointment, the governor must make a decision from a list of recommended candidates submitted by the political party committee that last held the vacant seat.[6] The appointment must be made within seven days of receiving a list of recommended candidates.[5] The person selected to the seat serves for the remainder of the unfilled term.[5]

On November 4, the North Carolina General Assembly voted to enact legislative maps. The house map passed the North Carolina House of Representatives 67-49 on November 2, and the North Carolina State Senate 25-21 on November 4.[7] The senate map passed the North Carolina State Senate 26-19 on November 3 and the North Carolina House of Representatives 65-49 on Nov. 4.[8]

On February 4, 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court issued a 4-3 opinion saying the state's enacted legislative maps violated the state constitution and directing the General Assembly to develop new maps by February 18.[9] On February 15, lawmakers introduced new state House and Senate maps.[10][11] The state house map was approved by the North Carolina House of Representatives in a 115-5 vote on February 16, and by the North Carolina State Senate in a 41-3 on February 17. The state Senate map was approved by the state Senate in a 26-19 vote, and by the state House in a 67-52 vote on February 17.[10][11]

On February 23, 2022, the Wake County Superior Court approved the state legislature's redrawn legislative maps. These maps take effect for North Carolina's 2022 legislative elections.

How does redistricting in North Carolina work? In North Carolina, the state legislature is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. District maps cannot be vetoed by the governor. State legislative redistricting must take place in the first regular legislative session following the United States Census. There are no explicit deadlines in place for congressional redistricting.[12]

State law establishes the following requirements for state legislative districts:[12]

* Districts must be contiguous and compact.
* Districts "must cross county lines as little as possible." If counties are grouped together, the group should include as few counties as possible.
* Communities of interest should be taken into account.

There are no similar restrictions in place regarding congressional districts.[12]
