North Dakota’s Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature three presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:
- Kamala Harris / Tim Walz (D)
- Donald Trump / J.D. Vance (R)
- Chase Oliver / Mike ter Maat (L)
This is the same number of candidates on North Dakota’s presidential ballot as in the 2020 election, and fewer candidates than in the three elections between 2008 and 2016. In 2020, North Dakota’s ballot had three candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, and Jo Jorgensen (L). Trump won North Dakota that year with 65.1% of the vote, followed by Biden with 31.8%, and Jorgensen with 2.6%.
