United States House of Representatives elections in North Dakota

North Dakota's At-large congressional district elections determine who serves as a United States Representative for North Dakota's At-large congressional district, for two year terms. The elections occur on even numbered years.

North Dakota has been represented by a Democratic-NPL representative since 1980. Some consider this to be odd considering that North Dakota is a historically conservative state.
