Filing deadline report: No contested primaries in North Dakota
April 9, 2014
Bismarck, North Dakota: Six state executive positions are up for election in 2014 in the state of North Dakota: attorney general, secretary of state, tax commissioner, commissioner of agriculture and two seats on the public services commission.
One of the public services commission seats is subject to a special election. The incumbent, Commissioner Julie Fedorchak, is running to fill the remaining two years of the unexpired term.
The primary election is scheduled for June 10, 2014. A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. South Carolina utilizes an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary. Voters must take an oath affirming that they have not voted in another party's primary.[1]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
All six incumbents are running. They are:
- Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem
- Secretary of State Al Jaeger
- Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring
- Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger
- Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk
- Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak
On Monday, April 7, the filing period came to a close. The following list of candidates is current as of April 9, 2014.
