Redistricting
2020-2021
North Dakota was apportioned one single at-large U.S. House seat, making Congressional redistricting after the 2020 census unnecessary.
How does redistricting in North Dakota work? Because North Dakota has only one congressional district, congressional redistricting is not necessary. The state legislature draws state legislative district boundaries. State legislative district lines are subject to veto by the governor.[9]
The North Dakota Constitution requires that state legislative districts be "compact and contiguous."[9][10]
2010-2011
This is the At-Large Congressional District of North Dakota after the 2001 redistricting process.
