- The North Carolina House of Representatives: This chamber consists of 120 members who are elected for two-year terms. Each member represents a specific legislative district.
- The North Carolina Senate: This chamber consists of 50 members who are also elected for two-year terms. Each senator represents a larger legislative district compared to the House.

The leadership of the General Assembly includes:
- The Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, who presides over the House.
- The President Pro Tempore of the North Carolina Senate, who presides over the Senate in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor.

Sessions[edit]
