North Carolina State Board of Elections
U.S. Republican-controlled state government agency (since May 2025)
The North Carolina State Board of Elections is a state government agency that administers elections across North Carolina's 100 counties. Since May 2025, a Republican-led legislature transferred appointment power from the Democratic governor to the Republican state auditor, flipping the board to Republican majority control. Its official communications are constrained by law to neutral, administrative language, but recent decisions on early voting, voter ID, and county board disputes have drawn criticism from Democrats who say the board now operates with a partisan tilt.
Owned byState of North Carolina; five-member board appointed by the State Auditor (Republican Dave Boliek) from nominees submitted by the two major parties, with no more than three members from one party — in practice, three Republicans and two Democrats since May 2025
