North Dakota Statutes
§ 16.1-15-29 — Determining tie vote in county offices
If the requisite number of county officers are not elected because two or more persons have
equal and the highest number of votes for one and the same office, a recount must be done
pursuant to section 16.1-16-01. If a recount results in a tie vote, the county auditor shall give
notice to the persons to appear at the county auditor's office at a time appointed by the county
auditor. The persons then shall publicly decide by a drawing of names which of them must be
declared elected. The county auditor shall prepare and deliver to the person elected an election
certificate as provided in this chapter.
