The 2016 North Carolina gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2016, to elect the Governor of North Carolina, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Primary elections were held March 15.[1]
Incumbent Republican Governor Pat McCrory is running for re-election to a second term in office.[2] Roy Cooper, the incumbent Attorney General of the state (and the second-longest-serving Attorney General in North Carolina history), is the Democratic nominee. The gubernatorial race is expected to be among the most competitive in the country in 2016.[3]
