Elections were held inNorth Carolina on November 6, 2012 to select the nine officers of theNorth Carolina Council of State. This election coincided with theU.S. presidential election,U.S. House elections, thegubernatorial election and thestatewide judicial elections.Primary elections were held on May 8, 2012; for races in which no candidate received 40 percent of the vote in the primary,runoff elections (officially known as "second" primaries) were held on July 17.[1][2]

The nine members of the North Carolina Council of State are statewide-elected officers serving four-year terms.[3] In the 2012 elections, all incumbents who ran for new terms were re-elected, while theGovernor andLieutenant Governor's seats were open following incumbentBev Perdue's decision to retire, andWalter Dalton's decision to run for governor, respectively.

The partisan makeup of the Council of State changed from 8 Democrats and 2 Republicans before the election to 6 Democrats and 4 Republicans afterward, as Republicans flipped both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
