No matter how you choose to vote, North Dakota’s voting process ensures you can cast your ballot.
North Dakotans have three options for casting their vote.
ABSENTEE VOTING
Voters are never mailed a ballot without first requesting one through an absentee ballot application.
Vote-by-mail counties mail voting-age residents absentee ballot applications.
In all other counties, the voter requests an absentee ballot application.
EARLY VOTING
Some communities offer early voting at certain dates and times prior to Election Day, so you can cast your vote in person when it is convenient. Once you vote at an early voting site, your voter record is updated.
When voting in person, the poll worker at the polling location will review your ID and will ask three questions as an acknowledgement you are eligible to vote in North Dakota.
- Are you at least 18 years of age?
- Are you a U.S. citizen?
- Have you lived in North Dakota for the last 30 days?
ELECTION DAY AT THE POLLS
Vote on Election Day at a polling location in your precinct. Once you check in at a polling location, your voter record is updated to show you have voted.
When voting in person, the poll worker at the polling location will review your ID and will ask those three questions to ensure you are eligible to vote in North Dakota.
