Home to Fort Liberty (formerly Bragg), Hoke County's large active-duty and veteran population shapes a competitive but increasingly Democratic-leaning electorate, with Biden and Harris both carrying it by single digits.

The Democratic margin in Hoke County reached its widest at ninety-three points in 1932. The margin in 2024 was six points — still decisive.

Hoke County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $64,912, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 53,835 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Anson County and Northampton County.
