There are two ways to go about it. Either way is slower than a newly married couple successfully birthing two, maybe actually three, siblings through two separate pregnancies.
The quickest of the two requires a 3/5 majority in both Houses of our Legislature agreeing on the text of the amendment(s) and submitting said verbiage to the voters. If passed, said amendment(s) would go into effect the next January, unless said honorables designate a later date.
My bet is we'll see snow, several inches, in Hatteras before an amendment on gerrymandering might happen :-(
Not me. I support NC representing our population which is pretty much evenly divided among the 2 major parties. 7-7 as in 2022 with neither party having more than one Congressional member from NC than the other, male and female.
Thomas,
Trouble with pesky constitutional amendments are the steps one has to go through to even get one on a state ballot. :-(
See https://www.ncleg.gov/Laws/Constitution/Article13 which is actually shorter than one might expect, and oddly enough fairly understandably :-)

I support the optimism of North Carolina having ten Democratic Congressmen.
