RALEIGH — On Dec. 17, the members of North Carolina’s 59th Electoral College convened at the State Capitol in Raleigh to cast the state’s 16 official votes for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Congress will certify the results received from the states on Jan. 6, 2025.
North Carolina’s elections are a “winner takes all” with Trump and Vance defeating Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The state’s 16 electoral votes, which represent one vote each for its two U.S. senators and one for each of the 14 representatives in the U.S. House, therefore go to Trump and Vance.
As the winning party, the North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) selects the electors.
“North Carolina delivered for President Trump a third time this year. It is our honor to formally cast our state’s 16 electoral votes for President Trump and Senator Vance,” NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons said in a statement.
Former U.S. House candidate Daniel Barry was selected by the members as the president of North Carolina’s 59th Electoral College.
The members were sworn in by North Carolina Chief Justice Paul Newby.
This year’s electors are listed below by their district.
