"An open U.S. Senate seat highlights North Carolina's statewide primary, with former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley each in strong position in their respective contests. There are also a number of contested U.S. House primaries, with some shifts to the state's map as a result of redistricting."
"If no candidate receives more than 30% support in a contest, a runoff can be requested between the top two finishers, on May 12."
North Carolina holds primary elections on March 3 for an open U.S. Senate seat and multiple U.S. House races. Former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley are positioned as frontrunners in their respective party primaries for Senate. The state's House primaries feature several contested races shaped by recent redistricting changes to the state's congressional map. North Carolina's primary rules allow for runoff elections on May 12 if no candidate achieves more than 30% support in any contest, with the top two finishers advancing to the runoff.
