2024 North Dakota House of Representatives election

The 2024 North Dakota House of Representatives elections were held on November 5, 2024, as part of the biennial 2024 United States elections.

Background

Partisanship

In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump won the most votes in 41 of North Dakota's legislative districts and Democrat Joe Biden won 7. Out of the 25 districts with elections in 2024, Donald Trump won the most votes in 20 districts and Joe Biden won the most votes in 5. There are 3 Biden-won districts where Republicans held at least one seat going into the 2024 House of Representatives election: District 9 ( Biden + 21%); Fargo-based District 46 ( Biden + 0.2%); and Fargo-based District 10 ( Biden + 4%). There is one Trump-won district where Democrats hold one seat going into the 2024 House of Representatives election: Grand-Forks-based District 18 ( Trump + 3%).

Redistricting

In January of 2024, Federal District Court Judge Peter Welte required North Dakota to substantially alter Legislative District 9 in response to a lawsuit by the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Spirit Lake Tribe. The tribes alleged that the House of Representatives districts established by the North Dakota legislature violated the voting rights act by preventing members of the Spirit Lake Tribe from electing a candidate of their choice to the legislature. The court-ordered new District 9, which the Turtle Mountain and Spirit Lake tribes had proposed, includes both the Turtle Mountain and Spirit Lake reservations. Special elections were held in the altered Districts—9, 15, and 23—to fill unexpired terms.
