On June 15th, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper Vetoed SB 486 .

Among many other Provisions, it prevents Parties that Nominate by Convention from Nominating anyone who had earlier that Year run in a Party Primary for the Same Office.

North Carolina already Bans Primary Candidates from becoming Independent Candidates, but the Law doesn’t apply to Nominations by Convention Parties.

Generally, Newly-Qualifying Parties in North Carolina Nominate by Convention, not Primary.
