Board Member Elections

The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy consists of six Board Members, (five actively licensed pharmacists and one public member). Pharmacist members of the Board are elected from five geographic areas of the state and the public member is appointed and commissioned by the Governor. Board members serve five-year terms and may serve no more than two consecutive five-year terms. Eligible voters include all pharmacists actively licensed and residing in North Carolina on October 31 of the year the election begins. N.C.G.S. § 90-85.7.

The winners of this election will begin their terms on May 1, 2025. All actively licensed pharmacists living in North Carolina at the time of the election are eligible to vote, regardless of the district in which they reside. It is only the candidate and the pharmacists signing the candidate’s petition who are district-limited.

Board member elections occur in conjunction with the annual license renewal period. When pharmacists log in to their profile through the Licensure Gateway during the renewal period, they will be presented with a link to candidate information and an electronic ballot.

Questions about the election should be directed to Jay Campbell, the Board’s executive director or Kristin Moore, director of operations.
