Tribal members voting a set aside ballot
Cite as N.D. Admin. Code ยง 72-06-03-05
In counties that include tribal reservation land, immediately after the election, the secretary of state
shall send to the applicable tribal government by electronic mail the names of all individuals whose
marked ballot was set aside because the identification provided did not contain current information.
Prior to the meeting of the county canvassing board occurring on the sixth day after the election, the
tribal government may respond to the secretary of state with correct information that was missing or not
current for any tribal member included in the list of individuals who marked a set aside ballot. The
secretary of state shall provide a form for the tribal government to use to respond with correct or
missing information. A tribal government may use any form prescribed by the tribal government instead
of the form provided by the secretary of state, so long as the form is consistent with this section and
North Dakota Century Code section 16.1-01-04.1.
Upon receipt of the information provided by the tribal government, the secretary of state shall
update the central voter file with the correct or current information and shall notify the county auditor of
the county in which the tribal member resides that the set aside ballot for the member must be counted
at the meeting of the canvassing board.
