North Dakota Century Code Title 16.1. Elections § 16.1-02-10. Posting voting history--Failure to vote--Individuals designated inactive

Within seventy-five days after each election, each county auditor shall post the voting history for each individual who voted in the election.  After the close of each even-numbered calendar year, the secretary of state shall determine if any individual has not voted during the preceding four years and shall change the status of each such individual to “inactive” in the central voter file.  The secretary of state shall prepare a report to each county auditor which contains the name of each individual who has been designated as “inactive” in the central voter file.  Although not counted in an election, a late absentee ballot from an individual may not be used to designate an individual as “inactive” in the central voter file.
