General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

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.
