Heading into the election, the incumbent was Kelly Armstrong (Republican), who was first elected in 2018.

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. A primary election is also sometimes used to choose convention delegates and party leaders; however, these selection processes can vary from state to state and party to party within a state. In North Dakota, precinct, district, and state party officials are selected at party caucuses and conventions, not at the state-administered primary election. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. North Dakota utilizes an open primary system, in which voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[1][2]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

This page focuses on North Dakota's Democratic primary for the U.S. House. For more in-depth information on the state's Republican primary and the general election, see the following pages:

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Dakota in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Seven candidates ran for North Dakota’s one U.S. House district in 2024, including two Democrats and five Republicans. That’s more than in the previous three election cycles. Two candidates ran in 2022, three candidates ran in 2020, and five ran in 2018.

The number of candidates that ran for the U.S. House in North Dakota in 2024 is also higher than any other year this decade.

North Dakota's At-Large Congressional District was open in 2024 for the second time this decade. Incumbent Kelly Armstrong (R) did not run for re-election in order to run for Governor of North Dakota. He was first elected in 2018 after Kevin Cramer (R) retired to run for the U.S. Senate.

The Democratic and Republican primaries were both contested in 2024. One primary was contested in 2020 and 2018, respectively. No primaries were contested in 2022, 2016, and 2014.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries, meaning the seat was not guaranteed to either party.
