Fellow Democratic challenger Edward McKeithan earned 29% of the vote. Terashima could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Terashima will now face incumbent Republican Rep. Frank Iler, who’s held the seat since 2009, in the Nov. 8 general election.

All results are unofficial until the vote canvass on May 27th.
The canvass ensures votes have been counted correctly and required audits have been completed. During the canvass, election officials consider challenges to votes and process provisional ballots and absentee ballots received after Election Day.
The canvass process is required by law and is held after every election, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
