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]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Dakota in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 11, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Two candidates filed to run for North Dakota’s one U.S. House seat, the lowest number since 2016 (when there were also two candidates). Three candidates ran in 2020, and five candidates ran in 2018. Because it had only one U.S. House seat, North Dakota did not need to redistrict after the 2020 census.
Incumbent Kelly Armstrong (R) filed to run for re-election. He was first elected in 2018 after Kevin Cramer (R) retired to run for the U.S. Senate. Kelly was the only candidate who filed to run in the Republican primary, and Mark Haugen was the only candidate who filed to run in the Democratic primary, making this year the first election cycle since 2016 in which there were no contested primaries. Two candidates ran in the Democratic primary in 2020 and four candidates ran in the Republican primary in 2018.
