Voting FAQs

Explore plain-English answers to common questions about ballot measures, direct democracy, and the rules that shape how voters make decisions.

Are ballot measures partisan in North Dakota?

No. Ballot measures are policy questions, not candidate races, and voters of any party affiliation can vote however they choose. Research shows that voters across the political spectrum — Democrats, Republicans, independents, and unaffiliated voters — value the ability to decide on laws directly. The process has been used successfully by coalitions that cross party lines entirely.
