No person may file a notice of candidacy for more than one office described in G.S. 163-106.2 for any one election. If a person has filed a notice of candidacy with a board of elections under G.S. 163-106 for one office, then a notice of candidacy may not later be filed for any other office under G.S. 163-106 when the election is on the same date unless the notice of candidacy for the first office is withdrawn under G.S. 163-106.4; provided that this section shall not apply unless the deadline for filing notices of candidacy for both offices is the same. Notwithstanding this section, a person may file a notice of candidacy for a full term as United States Senator, and also file a notice of candidacy for the remainder of the unexpired term of that same seat in an election held under G.S. 163-12, and may file a notice of candidacy for a full term as a member of the United States House of Representatives, and also file a notice of candidacy for the remainder of the unexpired term in an election held under G.S. 163-13.
