Election Observation
If you choose to vote in person on Election Day, you may see a League nonpartisan election observer. We deploy these volunteers to polling locations to check the conditions, help resolve any issues, offer our gratitude to poll workers, and later make recommendations to improve our elections.
Become an Election Observer
Help us monitor North Dakota's November election! We're seeking volunteers who will be trained as election observers, serve at the polls for a few hours on Election Day, and then submit a report of observations via an online form. The only requirement is that you're not a candidate on the ballot. We'd love to have you join us!
We had observers at polling sites for the June 2024 election. Click here to learn how it went.
Election Protection
If you have questions or issues when you vote, you can call the Election Protection Hotline. They have trained nonpartisan volunteers ready to answer your questions and help you vote.

2022 Election Observation
After voter suppression reports from members of Cass County's new American community in the June Primary Election, the League of Women Voters of the Red River Valley, the ACLU of ND, and ND Voices Network partnered to coordinate an election observation program for the November General Election.
​
In October 2022, the ND Attorney General issued an opinion that poll workers could not ask voters to prove their citizenship, which helped prevent the voter suppression issue in the General Election. The election observation program continued as a look at Cass County's voting process as a whole.
"Thank you for organizing this effort so well! I learned a lot and have increased respect for the kind, devoted, hard working election officials and the County Auditors who train them."
