The NCFEF Conventional Voting Behavior (CVB) rating is derived using actual election results from every statewide race since 2008 in which candidates ran on a partisan basis. Election result tabulations were made for every legislative district (13 Congressional districts, and 120 House and 50 Senate districts for the NC General Assembly) and done in a way to ensure split precinct data was assigned to the correct district.

2. The NCFEF Conventional Voting Behavior (CVB) rating is derived using actual election results from every statewide
race since 2008 in which candidates ran on a partisan basis. Election result tabulations were made for every legislative
district (13 Congressional districts, and 120 House and 50 Senate districts for the NC General Assembly) and done in a
way to ensure split precinct data was assigned to the correct districts.
It is important to note that NCFEF’s CVB rating is based on historical voting results, and is intended to show the degree
to which voters in a particular district have favored either Republican or Democratic candidates in general elections in
the past. It is not intended to be a singular predictor of outcomes in 2016 per se.
For purpose of clarity, NCFEF uses five CVB designations:
• Strong Republican/Democrat represents a partisan performance advantage of 6% or more, meaning the
district usually favors candidates of a particular political party.
• Lean Republican/Democrat represents a partisan performance advantage of more than 3% but less than 6%,
meaning the district mostly favors candidates of a particular political party.
• Competitive represents a partisan performance advantage that varies from 3% for Republicans to 3% for
Democrats, meaning the district may swing between support for the two political parties’ candidates.
There are many other factors that play a role in elections, including perceptions among local voters of the candidates
running, the extent to which campaigns are well-run and have sufficient resources to communicate effectively with
voters, economic or national political factors influencing voter perceptions and attitudes locally, and the extent to which
other groups - through independent expenditure or other campaign activity - are operating within the district, just to
name a few.
