Voting in North Dakota

Registration deadline: North Dakota does not have voter registration; bring an acceptable ID showing your North Dakota residential address.
Early voting: Each county commission decides whether to offer in-person early voting, up to 15 days before Election Day. For 2026 it is offered in Burleigh, Cass, Grand Forks, Morton, Stark, Stutsman and Ward counties; see vote.nd.gov/myvotinginfo for dates and places.
ID at the polls: Voters must bring a valid form of ID (for example a North Dakota driver's license or non-driver ID, tribal ID or tribal letter, or long-term care certificate) showing a current North Dakota residential address, with supplemental documents if needed. A voter without valid ID may cast a set-aside ballot and present ID afterward.
