Good to know
North Dakota's minimal reporting regime — only two pre-election statements and a year-end statement; no monthly or quarterly reports. A 48-hour supplemental is required only for a single contribution over $500 received in the 39 days before an election (event-driven, not listed here). The candidacy Statement of Interests is a separate filing, not a campaign-finance report.
