Pursuant to N.D.C.C. §16.1-04-02, polling locations must be established by the board of county commissioners no later than the sixty-fourth day before an election. April 11, 2022 is the sixty-fourth day before the June 14th primary election. Cass County is comprised of 11 legislative districts which are divided into 34 precincts. Consistent with <br />the 2020 General Election, we plan to utilize vote centers for both early voting and election day. Vote <br />centers contain every precinct within the county which allows a qualified elector the choice of casting a <br />ballot at any polling place they choose so long as it is located within Cass County. <br /> <br />Our goal for the 2022 primary election is accessibility. Therefore, an effort has been made to establish <br />a vote center within a 30-minute commute of each voter during early voting and on election day. <br />Historically, voter turnout averages 20% during early voting and 75% on election day. The remaining <br />5% of ballots are received via absentee ballots. <br /> <br />Early Voting <br />Taking into consideration both historical turnout and anticipated needs, we are recommending that 4 <br />early voting locations be open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm each day of the week (June 6 to 10) <br />preceding election day. Three locations will service the Fargo/West Fargo metropolitan area and one <br />location each day will service the rural areas. To make early voting convenient and accessible to rural <br />residents, the early voting center locations will rotate throughout the week. The rotation will start in the <br />north, then move to the west, south, and finish the week in Central Cass: <br /> <br />Early Voting Locations (June 6 to June 10; 10:00 am to 6:00 pm): <br />1. Fargo Dome, 1800 N University Dr N, Fargo <br />2. West Acres Mall Community Corner, 3902 13th Ave S, Fargo <br />3. DoubleTree Inn, 825 E Beaton Dr, West Fargo
