The North Dakota Legislative Assembly comprises 94 members of the House of Representatives and 47 members of the State Senate. Senate and House members serve 4-year terms and are subject to an 8-year term limit. Candidates who successfully navigated the primary process will represent their respective political party in the November General Election. The Senate candidate with the highest vote count will secure a seat in the State Senate, while the top two vote-getters in the House race will win seats in the State House of Representatives. Each Legislative District elects two House members and one Senate member.
