Information About

North Dakota State Auditor





HISTORY

Since the creation of the office with the state's constitution in 1889 , the state has seen a total of 16 State Auditors. The first eight State Auditors all served within the first 25 years of the office's creation, but since then Auditors such as Robert W. Peterson , who served for 24 years, have served for longer spans of time. The office has been held by the state's Democratic Party only two years; that was from 1893 to 1894 when Arthur W. Porter was elected. All other auditors have been from the North Dakota Republican Party . The Auditor originally served a two-year term, but this was extended to four in 1964 by a constitutional amendment.
