The 1964 United States presidential election in North Carolina took place on November 3, 1964, and was part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Campaign

Polling initially showed Goldwater leading in North Carolina, but his farm policies, particularly his opposition to federal tobacco price support, hurt his campaign.[1]

As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election when the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Wayne, Moore, and Lenoir.[2]
