BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR-KFGO) – The North Dakota Ethics Commission wants to hear from residents about which ethics-related topics are most important to them and where the commission should focus its work.

They are asking people to take an anonymous survey, which takes approximately 5–7 minutes to complete, and share their views on a range of ethics topics, including conflicts of interest, transparency in government decision-making, lobbyist reporting, and campaign ethics.

Participants are also asked to identify their top priorities and suggest additional issues for the Commission to consider.

The Ethics Commission says public input is essential to ensuring its work reflects the concerns and expectations of North Dakotans.

The survey gives people an opportunity to help guide the Commission’s education, outreach, and planning efforts.

The survey is open to North Dakota residents through Feb. 17, 2026. Responses are anonymous, and results will be summarized and shared publicly after the survey closes.

The survey can be accessed on the North Dakota Ethics Commission’s website.
