North Dakota held two statewide elections in 2022: a primary election on Tuesday, June 14, and a general election on Tuesday, November 8. In addition, each township elected officers on Tuesday, March 15, and each school district would hold their elections on a date of their choosing between April 1 and June 30.[1]
On Tuesday, June 14, 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 could vote in any one party's primary election. In addition, any number of constitutional amendments, initiated measures, or referred measures were placed on the ballot by petition or legislative action.[2]
On Tuesday, November 8, concurrent with other statewide elections across the United States, North Dakota voters selected one United States Senator, one United States Representative, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and several other statewide executive and judicial branch offices. Voters in odd-numbered legislative districts also selected their representatives to the North Dakota House of Representatives and North Dakota Senate.
