Does North Dakota require voter registration?

No — North Dakota is the only state in the country without a voter registration system. Instead of registering in advance, eligible North Dakotans simply bring a valid form of ID to the polls on Election Day. To confirm what ID is acceptable and find your polling location, visit the North Dakota Secretary of State's election website.
