The 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court for an eight-year term. Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs was elected to her first full term, defeating Republican state Court of Appeals judge Jefferson Griffin. Due to a legal challenge over the results from Griffin, the election was not certified until May 13, 2025, 189 days later, making it the last of the 2024 cycle to be certified.
Although the Election Day results and two recounts showed Riggs won the race by 734 votes, Griffin protested the eligibility of over 60,000 absentee ballots, prompting a lengthy legal battle in state and federal court. Griffin conceded on May 7 after a federal judge ordered the certification of the results.
