The 2022 candidate filing period ended at 12:00 noon on Friday, March 4. A list of local contests for the primary election has been completed (see below).
Pursuant to G.S. 163-165.5, with a drawing and a coin flip, the NC State Board of Elections randomly determined the order of candidates on the ballot for the 2022 primary and general elections in North Carolina. Candidates whose last names begin with the letter “C” will appear first in contests in the primary and general elections. A subsequent coin flip determined that additional candidates will follow in alphabetical order as follows: C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, A, B.
The following contests will participate in the primary election to determine which candidates will be the party nominee to go on the ballot in the November general election:
Democratic Party Primary
• U.S Senate
• U.S House of Representatives District 10
Republican Party Primary
• U.S. Senate
• U.S House of Representatives District 10
• NC Supreme Court Associate Justice Seat 5
• NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 9
• NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 11
• NC Senate District 36
• Alexander County Board of Commissioners (unexpired term)
In a partisan primary, voters affiliated with a political party may only vote their party’s ballot and may not vote in another party’s primary. For example, a registered Republican may only vote in the Republican Party primary. A registered Democrat may only vote in the Democratic Party primary. Unaffiliated voters may choose the Democratic or Republican primary ballot in a primary election.
A voter’s party affiliation for the 2022 primary election is based on the party affiliation listed on their voter registration record as of the voter registration deadline (Friday, April 22).
