Learn the specific voter identification requirements for North Dakota elections.
Strict ID Required (Non-Photo)
North Dakota requires ID to vote in person.
North Dakota requires ID showing the voter's name, current North Dakota residential address, and date of birth; it need not include a photo, and supplemental documents may be used to establish these facts. A voter without acceptable ID votes a provisional/set-aside ballot that counts only if they provide the required information afterward.
