Polls will open and close simultaneously throughout the state , with voting taking place between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the Central Time Zone and from 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. within the Mountain Time Zone at firehouse caucus locations across the state . The firehouse caucus will also feature a vote-by-mail option . In the open caucuses , candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent statewide in order to be considered viable . The 14 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the firehouse caucus . Of the 14 pledged delegates , 9 correspond to the result of the statewide vote ( coterminous with its sole congressional district ) and another 2 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials ( PLEO delegates ) , in addition to 3 at-large pledged delegates . Bonus delegates will be allocated as North Dakota shares a firehouse caucus date with numerous other states holding contests the week after Super Tuesday ; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates
