NC H124

Eliminates second primary elections in North Carolina, requiring nominees to be determined by the highest number of votes received in a single primary election.

Modifies primary determination rules so that candidates with the highest vote totals are declared nominees without needing a "substantial plurality" threshold or runoff primary procedures.

Adds tie-breaking procedures where two or more candidates receive equal votes: the board of elections determines the nominee by lot rather than holding a second primary.

Removes all statutory references to second primaries, including provisions for candidate requests, registration procedures, absentee ballots, and campaign finance reporting specific to second primaries.

Applies to state elections, county elections, municipal elections, and judicial vacancy elections, with changes to relevant election dates and procedures throughout North Carolina election law.
