(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota’s statewide office-holders up for reelection in 2026 are all running, though some haven’t made formal campaign announcements.

North Dakota voters will cast ballots for the offices of U.S. House, secretary of state, attorney general, agriculture commissioner, tax commissioner and two seats on the Public Service Commission, all positions held by Republicans. The nonpartisan positions of superintendent of public instruction and two seats on the North Dakota Supreme Court are also on the ballot.

Incumbent Julie Fedorchak is running for reelection to North Dakota’s sole seat in Congress. Republican Alex Balazs seeks to challenge her in the primary. Democrats Trygve Hammer, Vern Thompson and Helene Neville also have announced campaigns.

Secretary of State Michael Howe said he views his job as incomplete with changes still in the works to update the state’s online business filing portal.
