Redistricting is the process of drawing the districts from which public officials are elected. Once elected, the districts define who those officials represent during their terms in office. Members of the United States House of Representatives, the North Carolina Senate and the North Carolina House of Representatives are elected by district.

The North Carolina General Assembly is required to redraw these districts following each decennial census due to population changes and the need to maintain equal representation. Due to legal challenges, there is often mid-decade redistricting activity as well.
