Primary Election Results Certified In North Dakota, One House Race Recount Possible

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR) — The State Canvassing Board has certified the 2024 Primary Election results in North Dakota.

The Republican nomination for state house in District 26 in western North Dakota meets the threshold for a demand recount.

Kelby Timmons can request a recount within four days.

The election saw around 120,000 voters cast ballots for a statewide turnout of around 20%.

Secretary of State Michael Howe says in at least five counties a handful of absentee ballots were not postmarked.

He calls it “completely unacceptable for the United States Postal Service.”

Absentee voting starts Friday for the August 13 primary election in Minnesota.
