General Election 2020

November 3, 2020 Candidates & Ballots

Results of the Nov. 3, 2020 general election after the canvass by all 100 N.C. counties on Nov. 17, an audit on Nov. 19 and, on Nov. 24, certification by the N.C. Board of Elections of nearly all of the county canvasses. Three county contests in Hoke, Wake and Wayne Counties, plus one District Court seat in Wake and the statewide contest for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, were not certified Nov. 24 because of election protests. A Supreme Court contest recount ended Dec. 2 with the results below. Cherie Beasley received a hand-to-eye recount in a random selection of counties. Beasley conceded Dec. 12. The State Board was scheduled to meet Dec. 18 to act on the two candidates’ protest petitions, but those petitions may now be moot.

This chart focuses on Mecklenburg, plus districtwide or statewide totals in those contests. Complete results as reported by the N.C. Board of Elections are here. Parties: D-Democratic; R-Republican; L-Libertarian; G-Green; C-Constitution.

A note to readers new to reading election results: In Mecklenburg-only contests such as bond issues, District 26 district court judges, the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and the U.S. House 12th District, Mecklenburg results determine the winner. In cases such as N.C. Council of State offices, statewide judges and the U.S. House 9th District, the ultimate winner may not be the candidate who had the most votes out of Mecklenburg.
