Republican voter registrations in North Carolina have surpassed 2.3 million for the first time, according to new data from the State Board of Elections. Yet the state’s largest bloc of voters remains those unaffiliated with a party, now approaching 3 million. Democrats, once dominant, hold just a 0.2% edge over Republicans — a difference of only 11,090 voters among more than 7.5 million registered.
The current breakdown shows unaffiliated voters at 38.5%, Democrats at 30.5%, and Republicans at 30.3%. North Carolina has shifted significantly over the last three decades. In 1992, Democrats controlled all 10 Council of State offices and held wide majorities in both chambers of the legislature. By 2004, they still accounted for nearly 48% of registrations.
Today, the Council of State is evenly divided 5–5, while Republicans hold 30–20 and 71–49 majorities in the state Senate and House. The trend underscores the state’s shift from reliably Democratic to one of the nation’s most competitive battlegrounds.
