Note: This article is not intended to serve as an exhaustive guide to running for public office. Individuals should contact their state election agencies for further information.

In order to get on the ballot in North Carolina, a candidate for state or federal office must meet a variety of state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot. These laws are set at the state level. A candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election.

There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for office in a state.

  1. An individual can seek the nomination of a state-recognized political party.
  2. An individual can run as an independent. Independent candidates often must petition in order to have their names printed on the general election ballot.
  3. An individual can run as a write-in candidate.

This article outlines the steps that prospective candidates for state-level and congressional office must take in order to run for office in North Carolina. For information about filing requirements for presidential candidates, see "Ballot access requirements for presidential candidates in North Carolina." Information about filing requirements for local-level offices is not available in this article (contact state election agencies for information about local candidate filing processes).

Process to become a candidate

For partisan candidates

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Chapter 163, Article 10, Section 106 of the North Carolina General Statutes

A partisan candidate must be registered as an affiliate of the party with which he or she intends to campaign. A partisan candidate must also do the following:[2][2]

  • file a notice of candidacy with the appropriate board of elections (state or county-level)
  • file a felony conviction disclosure form
  • provide for payment of required filing fees

Filing fees for primary elections are established by Chapter 163, Article 10, Section 107, of the North Carolina General Statutes. Filing fees formulas are summarized in the table below.[3]

Filing fees
Office How the fee is determined
Governor 1% of the office's annual salary
Lieutenant governor 1% of the office's annual salary
State executive offices 1% of the office's annual salary
United States Senator 1% of the office's annual salary
United States Representative 1% of the office's annual salary

For independent candidates

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Chapter 163, Article 11, Section 122 of the North Carolina General Statutes

An unaffiliated candidate must file the same forms and pay the same filing fees as partisan candidates. In addition, the candidate must petition to appear on the ballot. Signature requirements are as follows (additional petition requirements are discussed below).[4][5]

Signature requirements for independent candidates
Office Signature requirement formula
Governor, United States Senator, and other statewide offices 1.5% of the total number of voters who voted in the most recent general election for governor (must include at least 200 signatures from each of three congressional districts)
United States Representative; state House and state Senate seats for districts that cover more than one county 1.5% of the total number of registered voters in the district as of January 1 of the election year
State legislative seats 4% of the total number of registered voters in the district as of January 1 of the election year

For write-in candidates

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Chapter 163, Article 11, Section 123 of the North Carolina General Statutes

To be certified, a write-in candidate must submit a declaration of intent and petition. Signature requirements are as follows (additional petition requirements are discussed below).[6]

Signature requirements for write-in candidates
Office Required number of signatures
Governor, United States Senator, and other statewide offices 500
United States Representative; state house and state senate seats for districts that cover more than one county 250
State house and state senate seats for districts that lie within one county If there are 5,000 or more registered voters in the district, 100 signatures; if fewer than 5,000, 1% of the number of registered voters

Write-in candidates do not have to pay filing fees.[7]

Petition requirements

See also: Methods for signing candidate nominating petitions

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Chapter 163, Article 19 of the North Carolina General Statutes

In some cases, candidates may need to obtain signatures via the petition process to gain access to the ballot. This section outlines the laws and regulations pertaining to petitions and circulators.

Circulation requirements

Notice of circulation of a petition must be registered with the county board of elections with which the petition is to be filed. The date of registration of the notice is considered the date of issuance and commencement of circulation of the petition.[8]

The relevant statutes do not stipulate a date on which petitions may begin to circulate, but petitions are deemed void one year after the date the notice of circulation is registered with the county board of elections. No person may sign the name of another person to a petition. The statutes do not address circulator requirements.[8]

Noteworthy events

2018

SB 486

On June 4, 2018, the North Carolina House of Representatives approved SB 486, legislation barring a candidate whose name appeared on a primary election ballot from having his or her name printed on the corresponding general election ballot as a candidate of another party. The North Carolina State Senate followed suit on June 5, 2018. Governor Roy Cooper (D) vetoed the bill on June 15, 2018, but the state Senate and House overrode the veto on June 19, 2018, and June 20, 2018, respectively. The bill took effect on June 20, 2018.[9]

The Constitution Party of North Carolina and three of its candidates for office in 2018 filed suit in federal district court. They argued that the enactment of SB 486, which resulted in the removal of the candidates' names from the general election ballot, violated their free speech, associational, and due process rights under the United States Constitution. The candidates in question, who had run in Republican and Democratic primaries on May 8, 2018, were subsequently selected as general election nominees by the Constitution Party. This occurred before the enactment of SB 486. Upon the enactment of SB 486, the state elections board retroactively decertified the three Constitution Party candidates, removing their names from the general election ballot.[10]

On August 22, 2018, Judge Louise Flanagan, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, determined that state officials had violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights by imposing retroactive requirements upon them. Flanagan ordered the candidates' names to be printed on the general election ballot. Flanagan barred the state from implementing the law pending resolution of the litigation.[11]

SB 3

On July 24, 2018, the North Carolina State Senate approved SB 3, legislation requiring a judicial candidate to be affiliated with a party for a minimum of 90 days before the candidate filing deadline in order to have the designation of that party appear alongside his or her name on the ballot. The North Carolina House of Representatives followed suit later the same day. Governor Roy Cooper (D) vetoed the legislation on July 27, 2018, explaining his veto as follows in a statement: "Changing the rules for candidates are the filing has closed is unlawful and wrong[.] ... All judge elections should be free of partisanship, and continued undermining of these elections creates confusion and shows contempt for the judiciary." House Speaker Tim Moore (R) and Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger (R) issued a joint statement criticizing Cooper's veto: "The governor's outlandish claim that ... conforming the filing requirements for judicial candidates to every other public office in the state, is somehow 'rigging the system' is a poor attempt to protect political gamesmanship by his party." On August 4, 2018, both the state House and Senate voted to override the veto. As a result, SB 3 became law.[12][13][14]

Christopher Anglin, a Republican state supreme court candidate whose party designation would not appear on the ballot as a result of SB 3 because he affiliated with the Republican Party less than 90 days before the filing deadline, filed suit in state court, seeking a stay against implementation of SB3. On August 13, 2018, state superior court Judge Rebecca Waters Holt granted the stay. Holt found the law "eliminates Plaintiff's vested right to have his party affiliation listed on the ballot while allowing other candidates in the same, specific race to have their party affiliations listed on the ballot," in violation of due process and associational rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The following day, state Republicans appealed Holt's decision to the North Carolina Court of Appeals. On August 28, 2018, Republicans abandoned the appeal. This allowed for the suspension of the law in the 2018 cycle.[15][16][17]

2017

On October 17, 2017, SB 656 became law, enacting a series of changes to North Carolina's ballot access provisions for political parties and unaffiliated political candidates. The bill first cleared the North Carolina State Senate on April 26, 2017. The North Carolina House of Representatives approved an amended version of the bill on June 28, 2017. A conference committee was convened to reconcile differences between the two versions of the bill. The conference committee submitted its report on SB 656 on October 4, 2017. The conference committee version of the bill was approved by the House and Senate on October 5, 2017. Governor Roy Cooper (D) vetoed the bill on October 9, 2017. On October 15, 2017, the Senate voted to override Cooper's veto, and the House followed suit the next day. The law's provisions took effect on January 1, 2018.[5][18][19]

As enacted, SB 656 provided for the following changes to ballot access law:[5][20][21]

  1. The signature requirement for new political party formation petitions was reduced from 2 percent of the total number of voters who voted in the most recent gubernatorial election to 0.25 percent of that group.
  2. A new means of political party formation was established: A political party may be formed by "any group of voters which shall have filed with the State Board of Elections documentation that the group of voters had a candidate nominated by that group on the general election ballot of at least seventy percent (70%) of the states in the prior Presidential election."
  3. The petition signature requirement for unaffiliated statewide candidates was reduced from 2 percent of the total number of voters who voted in the last gubernatorial election to 1.5 percent of that group. The filing deadline was changed from the second Wednesday prior to the primary election to the day of the primary election.
  4. The petition signature requirement for unaffiliated district candidates (other than state legislative candidates) was reduced from 4 percent of the total number of registered voters in the district to 1.5 percent of that group. The filing deadline was changed from the second Wednesday prior to the primary election to the day of the primary election.
  5. For unaffiliated state legislative candidates, the petition signature requirement was unchanged by the law. The filing deadline was changed from the second Wednesday prior to the primary election to the day of the primary election.
