• Source: 2020 North Dakota elections

      • North Dakota held two statewide elections in 2020: a primary election on Tuesday, June 9, and a general election on Tuesday, November 3. In addition, each township elected officers on Tuesday, March 17, and each school district held their elections on a date of their choosing between April 1 and June 30.


      Primary election


      On Tuesday, June 9, North Dakota voters selected which candidates for statewide and legislative office would appear on the November ballot. Because North Dakota does not have party registration, any eligible voter may vote in any one party's primary election. In addition, any number of constitutional amendments, initiated measures, or referred measures may be placed on the ballot by petition or legislative action.
      The State of North Dakota does not provide for a presidential primary, but the Democratic–NPL Party held a firehouse caucus on March 10, 2020, to select delegates to the Democratic National Convention. As of June 13, 2019, the Republican Party had yet to announce plans for selecting delegates to the Republican National Convention.


      General election


      On Tuesday, November 3, concurrent with other statewide elections across the United States, North Dakota voters selected three electors to the United States Electoral College to elect the President of the United States, one United States Representative to represent North Dakota's at-large congressional district, their governor (alongside lieutenant governor), and a number of other statewide executive and judicial officials. Voters who lived in even-numbered legislative districts also selected their representatives to the North Dakota House of Representatives and North Dakota Senate. Finally, voters may face any number of constitutional amendments, initiated measures, or referred measures placed on the ballot by petition.

      United States President



      North Dakota voters selected a presidential candidate on their ballots; the candidate with the most votes would send their preselected electors to represent North Dakota in the Electoral College. The state of North Dakota has three electoral votes in the Electoral College, and so would send three electors.


      United States Representative



      Freshman incumbent Republican Kelly Armstrong ran for re-election.

      In the State Auditor race, incumbent Republican Josh Gallion, who provoked lawmakers' ire with his reviews in his first term, ran for re-election.

      Superintendent of Public Instruction


      The election for Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Dakota is nonpartisan. Incumbent Kirsten Baesler, a registered Republican, ran for re-election.


      Public Service Commissioner


      One of three seats in the state Public Service Commission went up for election. Incumbent Republican Brian Kroshus ran for re-election to a full six-year term.


      Justice of the Supreme Court


      Chief Justice Jon J. Jensen ran unopposed in a nonpartisan election to a ten-year term.


      State legislative races



      23 seats in the North Dakota Senate and 47 seats in the North Dakota House of Representatives were up for election. Voters in all even-numbered districts saw those races on their ballots. The outcome of this election could affect partisan balance during post-census redistricting.
      Among the candidates for the North Dakota House, Republican candidate David Andahl, who died due to COVID-19 in October 2020, eventually won a seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives.
