North Dakota Voter Registration
Voter registration is not required in North Dakota. However, you will need to bring a valid form of identification that can be used for voting. Anyone who has been a resident of North Dakota for at least 30 days is allowed to vote. You may request a Vote by Absentee Mail-In Ballot.
How to Vote
No matter how you choose to vote, North Dakota’s central voter file ensures only one vote is cast per person. Even if you mailed an absentee ballot and show up at the polls to cast a vote, your voter record will show if you have "officially" cast your vote. Whichever ballot is received first will result in your voter record being updated and not allow you to vote again in that election. North Dakotans have three options for casting their vote.
- Early Voting
- Election Day at the Polls
- Absentee Voting

2025 Legislative update
A couple of key takeaways from this session include more legal reviews to determine if a special session is necessary to correct Gov. Kelly Armstrong’s line-item veto of Senate Bill 2014. Armstrong’s veto message indicated he objected to a $150,000 grant, but the message was accompanied by red lines crossing out a section of the bill that also included $35 million for the Housing Incentive Fund. The Attorney General has ruled that the $35 million was done in error and can be passed without calling a special session unless it is challenged in court.
This legislature invested $2.6 billion for infrastructure road and bridge development and $300 million behavioral health and corrections for a new state hospital with expanded mental health beds.
Passage of the tax relief and reform package. The bill more than triples the state’s existing primary residence property tax credit from $500 per year to $1,600 per year. A dedicated stream of earnings from the state’s $12 billion Legacy Fund will pay for the relief, estimated at $409 million in the 2025-2027 biennium. This earnings stream will grow as the Legacy Fund grows, allowing the size of the tax credit to be increased in future sessions.
