In November 2022, voters in the state approved a constitutional amendment limiting governors to two four-year terms, but it only applies to individuals elected after January 1, 2023, so incumbent governor Doug Burgum was still eligible to run for re-election under a grandfather clause. [2] On June 7, 2023, Burgum announced that he would instead run for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 2024, a race he dropped out of on December 4, 2023. Despite considering running for a third term after the end of his presidential campaign, Burgum announced he would not run for a third term on January 22, 2024. [3]

On January 23, the day after Burgum's announcement, U.S. Representative Kelly Armstrong announced he would also seek the governorship, receiving far more reporting than Campbell and an endorsement from Secretary of State Michael Howe. [7] [8] [9] [10] Following Armstrong's announcement, Campbell withdrew and switched his campaign towards the House seat left open by Armstrong. [11]
On January 31, Travis Hipsher, a security guard from Neche, announced he would seek the governorship for the Democratic-NPL. [12] Hipsher described himself as a centrist. [13]
Later on February 6, perennial candidate Michael Coachman announced an independent run for governor. [14] Coachman previously ran for governor in 2020, Lieutenant Governor in 2016 and 2012, and with Secretary of State in 2018. [15]
On February 15, Lt. Governor Tammy Miller announced her candidacy to replace Burgum. [16]
Later on March 22, it was reported that state senator Merrill Piepkorn had filed the paperwork to run, but did not announce any campaign. [17] On March 31, Travis Hipsher ended his campaign, making way for Piepkorn’s announcement on April 2. [18] [19]
