Voting in North Dakota

You must provide a valid form of identification when you vote in North Dakota.

Your identification must include your name, current residential street address, and date of birth.

Acceptable forms include:

• • North Dakota driver's license
• • North Dakota non-driver's ID card
• • Tribal-government-issued ID card
• • Long-term care certificate (provided by ND facility)

If your identification does *not* include a North Dakota residential address or date of birth, or the address is not current, you may supplement the identification with one of the following:

• • Current utility bill
• • Current bank statement
• • Check or a document issued by a federal, state, local, or tribal government (including those issued by the 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)
• • Paycheck
• • Printed document issued by a university or college and a student ID

Voters without ID:

If you're not able to show a valid form of identification you may mark a ballot that will be securely set aside. When you provide valid identification to the proper election official prior to the meeting of the canvassing board, the set aside ballot will be presented to the canvassing board for proper inclusion in the tally.
