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]
Primary election
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]
Incumbent Republican attorney generalWayne Stenehjem, first elected 2000, was re-elected in 2018 with 67.6% of the vote. Stenehjem had previously said he was not going to run for a seventh term,[3] but died on January 28 prior to the end of his term.[4]
One of three seats in the state Public Service Commission are up for election. Incumbent Republican Julie Fedorchak was re-elected in 2016 with 68.8% of the vote.
