Independent Voters Association

Independent Voters Association

The Independent Voters Association, or IVA, was a North Dakota political organization formed on May 1 1918, at the height of the Non Partisan League's influence on the North Dakota Republican Party. The IVA was a conservative, capitalist faction created to counter the NPL's socialist leanings. Its leading founder was E. W. Everson.

Its most notable success was the 1921 North Dakota recall election of Ragnvald A. Nestos to replace Lynn Frazier as Governor of North Dakota.

As the NPL went into decline during the 1940s, most of the goals of the IVA had been met, and it eventually disbanded.
