The Democrats gained a seat, becoming the largest party in terms of both representatives and popular vote. All incumbents ran again, with twelve of the thirteen winning re-election. Republican incumbent Charles H. Taylor lost the 11th district, while fellow Republican Robin Hayes came close to losing in the 8th.
It is not to be confused with the election to the North Carolina House of Representatives, which was held on the same day.
