Use the N&O | Observer | Herald-Sun Voter Guide to research NC judicial candidates
Welcome to The News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer and The Herald-Sun’s Voter Guide for the 2022 statewide judicial primary elections.
We have reached out to all of the candidates running for N.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals who will appear on the primary ballot in May and asked them to complete a candidate questionnaire.
This year there are no Democratic primaries for any statewide judicial seats. But there are three Republican primaries.
Election Day is May 17. Candidates who do not face a primary opponent were not asked to complete a questionnaire and will not appear in this voter guide.
The names of candidates who responded to our questionnaire are hyperlinked below so that N&O, Observer and Herald-Sun subscribers can read their answers to our questions about their top priorities and what life skills and experience make them the candidate to vote for.
Voters affiliated with a political party can vote in that party’s primary. Unaffiliated voters can choose which political party’s primary they want to vote in, but can only choose one.
The early voting period runs from April 28 to May 14 at 3 p.m. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is May 10 and all civilian ballots must be returned by May 17.
If a second primary election is needed, it will be held July 26. The general election is Nov. 8.
Candidates are listed in the order that their names will appear on the ballot.
N.C. Supreme Court Associate Justice seat 5

Victoria E. Prince
N.C. Court of Appeals Judge seat 9

N.C. Court of Appeals Judge seat 11
