Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in North Dakota in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 6, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time. There are 69 state legislative seats up for election this year in North Dakota. Across those, eight incumbents (one Democrat and seven Republicans) did not file to run for re-election. All eight of those retirements came from state senators, while all House incumbents are running for reelection.

Since Ballotpedia began tracking this data in 2010, the average number of retirements per cycle across both chambers of the state legislature was 14.0, with the highest number coming in 2022 (23) and the lowest in 2020 (6). 2024 had the second fewest number of retiring incumbents (8) after 2020 (6).

Footnotes

  1. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
