The 1792 United States presidential election in North Carolina was held between November 2 – December 5, 1792, as part of the 1792 United States presidential election. 12 members of the Electoral College were allocated to the presidential candidates.
Incumbent Independent President George Washington won and carried the state. This was also the first presidential election in the state of North Carolina.[1]
North Carolina did not participate in the 1788–89 United States presidential election, as it did not ratify the Constitution of the United States until months after the end of that election and after George Washington had assumed office as President of the United States to become the 12th state.[2]
