Summarised from 2 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 28 Oct, 02:45 · Archive

Early voting has begun in multiple North Dakota counties, with residents casting ballots ahead of election day on November 3rd.

Early voting has opened across North Dakota counties ahead of the November 3rd general election. Ward County residents began voting early on Monday at one location in the Administration Building in Minot, with poll workers reporting citizens lined up right away that morning. Morton County voters also began casting ballots, with election workers describing their flow as 'phenomenal' and 'busy since we opened the doors at 9:30 this morning'.

In Ward County, early voting continues through Friday and again on Monday, November 2nd, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Some residents appreciated the convenience and smaller crowds. Darreld Scott, who voted early, praised the new location: 'This has been much easier. The previous one was in the courthouse. We had to go through the security and up to the third floor, and this was just the easiest thing.'

On election day, Ward County voters will have greater flexibility than during early voting. County Auditor Marisa Haman explained that voters can use any of nine designated polling locations across the county, regardless of where they live. 'So, if you're from Minot, but you happen to be travelling through Kenmare, you can vote in Kenmare on Election Day as well,' Haman said. All polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. According to the Secretary of State's website, roughly 600,000 North Dakotans are eligible to vote, with almost 13,000 having voted early so far.
