General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Carolina in 2022. Information below was calculated on March 31, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 103 candidates filed to run for North Carolina’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 60 Republicans, 40 Democrats, two Libertarians, and one independent. That’s 7.4 candidates per district, up from 5.3 in 2020 and 5.0 in 2018.
Here are some other highlights from filings in 2022:
- This was the first filing deadline to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. North Carolina was apportioned 14 seats after the 2020 census, up from 13 seats in the last round of apportionment following the 2010 census.
- Two incumbents filed to run for re-election in a different district than the one they represented before redistricting. 8th District Rep. Richard Hudson (R) filed for re-election in the 9th District. 9th District Rep. Dan Bishop (R) filed for re-election in the 8th District.
- Four seats were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. In addition to the newly-created 14th District, this included the 1st, 4th, and 13th Districts: Rep. Ted Budd (R) filed to run for U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election. Reps. G.K. Butterfield (D) and David Price (D) retired from politics.
- This marked the largest number of open seats since at least 2012. There were three open seats in 2020 and none in 2018.
- Fifteen candidates filed to run in the 11th District, more than any other. This figure includes eight Republicans, six Democrats, and one Libertarian.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census
On October 25, 2023, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted new legislative district boundaries.[5] The legislation adopting the new Senate districts passed the State Senate by a vote of 28-17 and the State House by a vote of 63-40.[6] The legislation adopting the new House districts passed the State Senate by a vote of 27-17 and the State House by a vote of 62-44.[7] All four votes were strictly along party lines with all votes in favor by Republicans and all votes against by Democrats.[8][9][10][11] WUNC's Rusty Jacobs wrote that Catawba College Prof. Michael "Bitzer said Republicans have drawn maps that have a strong chance of preserving their veto-proof super majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. Bitzer noted that constitutional provisions, like requiring legislators to keep counties whole when drawing state legislative districts, make it more difficult for lawmakers to gerrymander these maps more aggressively."[12]
