2022 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina

As a result of population growth over the preceding decade, the state's Congressional delegation increased from thirteen seats to fourteen in 2022. Republican-drawn districts adopted by the state legislature was struck down by the North Carolina Supreme Court as unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, and court-drawn maps issued in their place.^[2] Democrats flipped the redrawn 13th district from Republican control, and won the newly created 14th district, yielding an even 7–7 House delegation.
