Members of the North Carolina General Assembly, 2005–2006 session were elected in November 2004. These were the first elections for the state legislature under a new redistricting plan approved in 2003.
This General Assembly will perhaps be best remembered as the assembly that approved North Carolina’s first state lottery. It also approved new ethics laws for government officials and increased the state's minimum wage.
The North Carolina State House, during the 2005–2006 session, consisted of 63 Democrats and 57 Republicans. Several Republicans, Richard T. Morgan most prominent among them, continued to support the Democratic majority on some issues, as they had in the previous legislature (when the house was evenly divided by party).
The North Carolina State Senate, during the 2005–2006 session, consisted of 29 Democrats and 21 Republicans.
