North Dakota does not require voters to register prior to Election Day.  On Election Day you are required to bring acceptable proof of ID and residency to the polls in order to vote. Your precinct is responsible for governing its own election process, and the Secretary of State has a "central voter file" in which all county auditors share their precinct's voter list.

  • Long term care identification certificate (provided by North Dakota facility)

Supplemental Documentation:

  • If an individual’s valid form of identification does not include the North Dakota residential address or date of birth, or the North Dakota residential address is not current, the individual may supplement the identification with a current utility bill; a current bank statement; a check or a document issued by a federal, state, local, or tribal government (including those issued by BIA for a tribe located in North Dakota, any other tribal agency or entity, or any other document that sets forth the tribal member’s name, date of birth, and current North Dakota residential address); or a paycheck.
