Live Results: North Dakota midterm primaries

Key Points:

• North Dakota's 2026 primaries will not include major statewide offices like governor or U.S. Senate seats, which are up for election in 2028 or later, but will feature a ballot measure limiting constitutional amendments to a single subject.
• Fargo voters will elect a new mayor to replace term-limited Tim Mahoney, with this being the first mayoral election since the city shifted the position to full-time and ended its "approval voting" system.
• Primaries for over half of the state Legislature's seats will take place, where Republicans hold supermajorities; North Dakota remains a strong Republican state, with Trump winning 67% of the vote in 2024.
• North Dakota does not require voter registration, with about 594,000 eligible voters and varying turnout in primaries and general elections; early and absentee voting accounted for roughly 41% of the 2024 primary votes.
• The Associated Press will report results as polls close at 7 p.m. local time and will declare winners only when no trailing candidate can mathematically overcome the lead, with automatic recounts triggered by narrow margins in close races.
