On April 8, 1913, North Carolina marked a key moment in election history as it observed the ratification of the 17th Amendment. This amendment established the direct election of two U.S. Senators in each state. The change allowed citizens to vote directly for their senators. North Carolina will hold its next election for a U.S. Senator on November 3, 2026.
