2024 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the fourteen U.S. representatives from the State of North Carolina, one from all fourteen of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on March 5, 2024.

Background
In 2021, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled against a congressional map proposed by the state legislature deeming it as a partisan gerrymander and drew its own congressional map that was used for the 2022 election cycle. However, after the 2022 elections Republicans gained a majority on the state supreme court and ruled in April 2023 that claims of partisan gerrymandering are non-justiciable. The General Assembly passed a new map placing three incumbent Democrats in Republican-leaning districts.

District 1
The new 1st district includes all of Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Edgecombe, Gates, Greene, Halifax, Hertford, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell, Vance, Warren, and Washington counties, as well as a small portion of eastern Granville County. The incumbent is Democrat Don Davis, who was elected with 52.4% of the vote in 2022.
