Elections in North Carolina |
---|
At least one justice of the seven-member North Carolina Supreme Court and at least three judges of the fifteen-member North Carolina Court of Appeals are scheduled to be elected by North Carolina voters on November 5, 2024, concurrently with other state elections. Terms for seats on each court are eight years. These elections are conducted on a partisan basis.
Primary elections (for seats with more than one candidate from a political party) were held on March 5, 2024.
This seat is currently held by Associate Justice Allison Riggs, a Democrat. Governor Roy Cooper appointed her to the seat following the early retirement of Michael R. Morgan, also a Democrat. Morgan had announced in 2023 that he would not run for reelection in 2024.[1] Riggs ran for a full term, as did Judge Lora Cubbage, a fellow Democrat. [2]
On January 5, 2023, NC Court of Appeals judge Jefferson Griffin announced that he would run for the seat as a Republican.[3]
