§ 163‑106.6.  Prohibition on certain dual candidacies; exception.

No person may file a notice of candidacy for more than one office described in G.S. 163‑106.2 for any one election. If a person has filed a notice of candidacy with a board of elections under G.S. 163‑106 for one office, then a notice of candidacy may not later be filed for any other office under G.S. 163‑106 when the election is on the same date unless the notice of candidacy for the first office is withdrawn under G.S. 163‑106.4; provided that this section shall not apply unless the deadline for filing notices of candidacy for both offices is the same. Notwithstanding this section, a person may file a notice of candidacy for a full term as United States Senator, and also file a notice of candidacy for the remainder of the unexpired term of that same seat in an election held under G.S. 163‑12, and may file a notice of candidacy for a full term as a member of the United States House of Representatives, and also file a notice of candidacy for the remainder of the unexpired term in an election held under G.S. 163‑13.
