The ten members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms.[1]
The result of the 2020 elections was a Council of State consisting of four Democrats and six Republicans, just as it had been before the elections.[2] Three seats (Lieutenant Governor, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Commissioner of Labor) were open, but in each case, a Republican succeeded a fellow Republican.
