Makeup of County Boards of Elections
Each of North Carolina’s 100 counties has a county board of elections with five members who are registered voters in that county.
The State Board of Elections appoints four members – two Democrats and two Republicans – to each county board of elections.
The state chairs of the Republican and Democratic parties recommend three registered voters to the State Board. The State Board chooses two members from each party to serve on each county board. They serve two-year terms.
The State Auditor appoints the chair of each county board.
The State Board of Elections may remove any member of a county board for incompetency, neglect or failure to perform duties, fraud, or for any other satisfactory cause.
