Vote by Mail
Cavalier County will be conducting the November 5, 2024 General Election as a mail ballot election with one (1) physical polling location. The authority for a County Commission to conduct mail ballot elections is authorized by North Dakota Century Code, Chapter 16.1-11.1-01. A mail ballot election requires at least one physical polling location and for the County Auditor to mail absentee ballot applications to all active voters that have not previously applied for an absentee ballot that year.   Absentee ballots are only sent to citizens that have completed an application that has been verified by the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office.

Although a mail ballot election is typically referred to as “Vote by Mail,” there are several ways to submit a ballot for the November 2024 General Election:

  • Return an absentee ballot to the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office via US Postal Service, postmarked by November 4, 2024 (901 3rdStreet – Suite 15, Langdon, ND 58249)
  • Return an absentee ballot via secure drop box by 5:00 pm CT on November 4, 2024. Drop box is located at the Cavalier County Courthouse – Door 1, 901 3rd Street, Langdon, ND
  • Return an absentee ballot to the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office in person by 4:30 pm CT on November 4, 2024 (Cavalier County Courthouse, 901 3rd Street, Langdon, ND)
  • Vote in person on Election Day, November 5, 2024, between 9 am and 7 pm CT at the Cavalier County Courthouse, 901 3rd Street, Langdon, ND

Valid ID
Whether a citizen votes by absentee ballot or in-person, valid identification including the voter’s name, current residential address, and date of birth is required. Options include a North Dakota driver’s license, a nondriver’s identification card, ID issued by a tribal government, or a long-term care identification certificate. More information about voter identification can be found online at vote.nd.gov. Voters can also verify their voting information and address online at vote.nd.gov. If a voter is unable to update their current address before election day, then the voter MUST bring with them a document such as a lease, utility bill, or bank statement showing their current residential address.
