2020 North Carolina Council of State elections

The North Carolina Council of State elections of 2020 were held on November 3, 2020 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 Senate and elections to the North Carolina General Assembly and top state courts. Primary elections were held on March 3, 2020, 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 result of the 2020 elections was a Council of State consisting of 4 Democrats and 6 Republicans, just as it had been before the elections.^[2] Three seats (Lieutenant Governor, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Commissioner of Labor) were open, but in each case, a Republican succeeded a fellow Republican.

Governor[]

Incumbent Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat, ran for a second term. The Republican Party nominated Lt. Governor Dan Forest. The Libertarian Party nominated Steven J. DiFore and the Constitution Party nominated Al Pisano. Cooper won re-election to a second term with 51.5% of the vote. Cooper received the most votes of any Democrat on the ballot in North Carolina in 2020.

Lieutenant Governor[]

Incumbent Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, a Republican, was ineligible to run for a second term due to term limits set by the North Carolina Constitution. Forest ran for the governorship.

The Republican Party nominated Mark Robinson, a businessman and first-time political candidate. The Democratic party nominated State Representative Yvonne Lewis Holley. Robinson defeated Holley, winning 51.6% of the vote to Holley's 48.4%. Robinson thus became North Carolina's first African-American lieutenant governor.

Attorney General[]

Incumbent Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat, ran for a second term. He faced Republican nominee Jim O'Neill in the general election. Stein defeated O'Neill by just over 13,000 votes out of over 5.4 million cast.

Secretary of State[]

Elaine Marshall, a Democrat, was first elected to the position of Secretary of State in 1996 and has held the position since then. She is currently the longest-tenured member of the Council of State. She was unopposed in the primary. The Republican Party nominated businessman E.C. Sykes. Marshall won with 51.2% of the vote, a slightly smaller percentage of the vote than what Marshall received in 2016. She was elected to her seventh term as Secretary of State. No Republican has won election to this office since 1872, the longest streak for any state office in the country.^[3]
