Dalrymple Welcomes State Population Growth

Posted on 12/20/2012

Governor Jack Dalrymple today said he welcomes the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates that show North Dakota's population is the fastest growing in the nation. North Dakota's population has grown by 14,888 residents in the last year.

"After years of population decline, it's good to see that our economic growth continues to keep North Dakotans home and that we are attracting new residents throughout the state who come for good jobs, a strong economy and our excellent quality of life," Dalrymple said.

The U.S. Census Bureau today released its 2012 national and state population estimates that show North Dakota's population has reached an all-time high of 699,629 residents. Last year, North Dakota's official 2011 population of 683,932 residents exceeded the state's previous record set in 1930.

North Dakota's population has grown during eight of the last nine years. The state's population has increased by 66,820 residents from a decade-low of 632, 809 reported in 2003, the U.S. Census Bureau reports. Due to the state's dynamic residential population change, members of the North Dakota Census Committee said today's estimates may be lower than the state's actual population growth.

UNAMI Welcomes Amendment to Elections Law

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq, Mr. Martin Kobler (pictured), welcomed the approval by the Iraqi Council of Representatives yesterday of the fourth amendment to the Governorate Council elections law, which determines the seat allocation formula to be applied in the elections.

“The amendment was the final element in approving the legal framework for the Governorate Council elections,” Mr. Kobler said.

“It brings the law into line with the Constitution, providing a more representative mechanism for the election of the new councils and aiming at securing a 25 percent representation of women. I welcome this positive step towards the holding of timely elections in 2013.”
