Congressional District

SUMMARY: North Carolina has scheduled special elections to fill the

held by the late Representative Walter B. Jones Jr.

DATES: There are three possible special elections, but only two may be 
necessary.
     Special Primary Election: April 30, 2019.
     Possible Special Runoff Election: July 9, 2019. In the 
event that the top vote-getter does not achieve over 30% of the votes 
cast in his/her party's Special Primary Election, the top two vote-
getters of that party will participate in a Special Runoff Election.
     Special General Election: September 10, 2019. However, if 
a Special Runoff Election is not necessary, the Special General will 
instead be held on July 9, 2019.
