Ballot Sections

Ballots in North Dakota have three sections in which voters make choices on:

1. Partisan Races - federal, legislative, and statewide
2. No-Party Races - county, city, school, and other statewide non-partisan races
3. Ballot Measures - all measures brought forward by the legislature, local jurisdictions, or by the public petition process

Casting a Ballot

Here are some important facts to know when marking your ballot.

Under Vote

The choice of what to vote for on the ballot is yours. Any race you choose to vote for will be counted, if correctly marked.

Over Vote

Marking too many candidates in a race. Example: Vote for 1 but 2 or more ovals are filled in.

• You are alerted when your ballot is inserted in the ballot tabulator that you have an over vote.
• You can fix the mistake with a new ballot or cast ballot as-is – the over voted race will be voided but all other correctly marked races will count.

You Can Skip Races

Vote only for the races you want to. Your ballot will still count.

You Can Vote For Less Than The Race Indicates

Vote for 1 candidate, even if the race says choose 2. Your ballot will still count.

Crossover Vote - Primary Election Only

In Primary Elections, you can only vote for 1 political party in federal, legislative, and statewide (party) races.

If you vote for candidates in more than 1 political party:

• You are alerted when your ballot is inserted in the ballot tabulator that you have a crossover vote.
• You can fix the mistake with a new ballot or cast ballot as-is – party races on front of ballot will be voided but all other correctly marked races will count.
