Elections were held on November 2, 2010, to determine North Carolina's 13 members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year-terms to serve in the 112th United States Congress from January 3, 2011, until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on May 4, 2010, and primary runoff elections were held on June 22, 2010.[1]
Of the 13 elections, the races in the 2nd, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by Sabato's Crystal Ball,[2][3][4] while the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by CQ Politics[5] and The Rothenberg Political Report,[6] and the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report.[7] Of North Carolina's 13 incumbents, 12 were re-elected while one (Bob Etheridge of the 2nd district) unsuccessfully sought re-election.[8]
In total, seven Democrats and six Republicans were elected.[8] A total of 2,662,529 votes were cast, of which 1,440,913 (54.12 percent) were for Republican candidates, 1,204,635 (45.24 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 16,562 (0.62 percent) were for Libertarian candidates and 439 (0.02 percent) were for write-in candidates.[9] As of 2023, this is the last time that Democrats won a majority of North Carolina's congressional districts. North Carolina was one of two states (along with New Jersey) where the party that won the most seats did not win the most votes in the state.
