The 2024 North Carolina Attorney General election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next attorney general of North Carolina. Democratic congressman Jeff Jackson defeated Republican congressman Dan Bishop in the contest to succeed Democratic incumbent Josh Stein, who did not seek re-election in order to run for governor. Republicans have not won a North Carolina attorney general election since 1896, and the state remains the only ex-Confederate State which popularly elects the officeholder to have not elected one since the nineteenth century.[1]
