About the North Carolina Supreme Court Races
Four judicial candidates are running for two seats on the North Carolina Supreme Court this November.
The Justices that sit on the North Carolina Supreme Court make decisions everyday to support or undermine our rights under the North Carolina Constitution.
For example, this year the state Supreme Court held that a legislature elected based on racially gerrymandered districts cannot propose amendments to the North Carolina constitution.
The Court also created a mandatory parole review for prisoners sentenced as juveniles who have subsequently served 40 years in prison. And the Court will also soon decide whether the state’s voter ID law is unconstitutional.
The future of the North Carolina Supreme Court is in your hands.
On November 8, vote for the judicial candidates that will promote equal justice for all, protect your rights and freedoms and protect our democracy.

Fair Elections Center Know Your Rights Guides
Fair Elections Center has created "Know Your Voting Rights" guides for ten states where we have focused our work to help voters if they encounter problems at the polls in the 2022 midterm elections. These guides will help give in-person voters the tools to assert their rights and protect their freedom to vote. Voters have important rights under federal law, but some of these rules at the polling place vary by state. While most voters will likely have a smooth voting experience, we want to make sure that they understand what to do if they do run into challenges or other hurdles at the polls.
