How the primary worked here
North Dakota's field is the Secretary of State's general election candidate list. Party nominees (Republican, Democratic-NPL, Libertarian) were chosen at the June 9, 2026 primary. Legislators serve staggered four-year terms, so only the odd-numbered districts elect a senator and two representatives this year (House races say voters choose two); a few even-numbered districts fill an unexpired two-year House term. Judges and the superintendent of public instruction run without party labels. Unopposed candidates still appear on the ballot.
