Christopher James Anglin, who is campaigning as a Republican for the N.C. Supreme Court Associate Justice Seat 1, will not have his party listed on the November ballot.
This comes following the recent special session held by the General Assembly, in which legislators passed a bill establishing a 90-day limit for judicial candidates changing party affiliation.
Anglin was registered as a Democrat until June of this year.
