Attorney General

November 3, 2026 · North Dakota · Statewide · general

Vote impact: High
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: High · 92 out of 100

Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 784,841 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 784,841) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 92.92, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Decisiveness: Unknown
