VOTE411.org is the League of Women Voters' one-stop shop for nationwide voting and election information. We publish our statewide voter guide on VOTE411 to make it easier for you—and all North Dakotans—to research candidates and ballot measures.
​​About VOTE411
Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund in October 2006, VOTE411.org serves millions of voters each year and is available in both English and Spanish.
In 2020, the League of Women Voters of the Red River Valley first published a local voter guide on VOTE411. Since then, the League of Women Voters of North Dakota has published a statewide voter guide covering all the candidates in the state in each statewide election.​​​​
​
In 2024, we covered over 1,800 candidates and more than 20,000 North Dakotans used our voter guide.
​When will we publish our voter guide next?
We'll publish our voter guide next for the 2026 elections: in mid-May for the June election and in mid-September for the General Election. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for our VOTE411 voter guide announcements.
Will our voter guides cover ballot measures?
Yes! We write plain-language summaries of the statewide ballot measures and add the text of the county-level and city-level ballot measures to VOTE411 as we find them.​
​
What do we love about our voter guide?
We love that our voter guide is nonpartisan! We don't endorse or oppose candidates or political parties. Candidates respond to our voter guide questions in their own words, so voters can read their responses and choose which candidates are a good fit for them. It's great for both voters and candidates.​
Which candidates receive our VOTE411 questionnaire?
All candidates in statewide elections are listed in our voter guide. We send our candidate questionnaire to statewide, state legislative, and judicial candidates, as well as local candidates in contested races in cities and counties of 1,000 people or more. If additional email addresses are available, we may expand out the number of local candidates who receive our questionnaire.
​
How are candidates invited to participate?
Candidates receive an invitation by email if we have it or by mail if we don't. After the filing deadline, candidates receive a unique link to fill out their profile, which includes uploading a photo, filling out their contact info, and responding to questions. For the June 2026 election, candidates can expect their VOTE411 invite in early May 2026.
​​
Don’t see your candidates' responses on VOTE411?
If your candidate hasn't responded to our questions, you can help by reaching out to the candidate and asking them to respond.
​
