The North Carolina Council of State elections of 2024 were held on November 5, 2024, to select the ten officers of the North Carolina Council of State . These elections coincided with the presidential election , elections to the House of Representatives , elections to the North Carolina General Assembly and top state courts . Primary elections took place on March 5, 2024, for offices for which more than one candidate filed per party.
The ten members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms.[ 1]
The November general election had mixed results for both parties. The Republican Party picked up the office of State Auditor while maintaining control of the offices of State Treasurer , Agriculture Commissioner , Labor Commissioner , and Insurance Commissioner . In contrast, the Democrats held the offices of Attorney General , Governor , and Secretary of State , while also flipping the offices of Lieutenant Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction .[ 2]

The race was initially competitive, with Stein holding a narrow lead in part due to Robinson's history of controversial statements. After Robinson was linked to disturbing comments on a pornographic website less than two months before the election, Stein gained a significant polling advantage that held for the remainder of the race. Stein went on to win the election by 14.8%, the largest margin for a gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina since Jim Hunt in 1980 . Stein received more than three million votes, the most of any candidate in the history of statewide elections in North Carolina. He will also be the first Jewish governor of the state.[ 19] Analysts have credited Stein’s large margin of victory with helping down-ballot Democrats in concurrent elections .[ 20]

Incumbent Democratic Auditor Beth Wood initially said she would run for re-election to a fifth term in office. However, her career was derailed when she pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run charge in March 2023.[ 62] On November 1, 2023, Wood announced that she would not seek re-election, and on November 9 announced that she would resign effective December 15.[ 63] Governor Roy Cooper appointed Democrat Jessica Holmes to replace Wood. Holmes is a former Wake County commissioner and was the Democratic nominee for North Carolina Commissioner of Labor in 2020 .[ 64]
Holmes lost in the general election to Republican challenger Dave Boliek on November 5, 2024.[ 65]
