Statewide turnout was nearly identical to four years ago in North Dakota. 62-point-five percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the general election. A miniscule drop from the 62-point-six that voted in 2020. Nearly 372-thousand people voted this year, an 8,000 person increase from four years ago. The numbers were lower, however, in Stutsman County. Just 59% of eligible voters from the county cast ballots this year.
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance received 67-percent of the statewide vote, and were awarded North Dakota’s three electoral votes. Republicans swept the statewide races, with Kelly Armstrong elected governor, Kevin Cramer re-elected to Senate, and Julie Fedorchak filling the state’s lone U.S. House seat.
Measure 4 that would have repealed property taxes was resoundingly defeated at the ballot box, with 63-percent of people voting no.
While voters also disapproved of legalizing cannabis in the state, the 52-47 margin of defeat was noticeably narrower than two years ago when the measure was defeated by 10 points. This year, that gap narrowed to just four-and-a-half percentage points.
