N.D. Cent. Code § 11-09.1-10
On the first day of January following repeal of a home rule charter, the county reverts to the form of government of the county immediately preceding adoption of the home rule charter. If positions to which officials were elected under the home rule charter are substantially the same as positions under the form of government to which the county reverts upon repeal, the elected officials shall continue to exercise the authority of their positions for the salary prescribed by the home rule charter until expiration of their terms of office as prescribed by the home rule charter. No amendment of a home rule charter may shorten the term for which any official was elected or reduce the salary of the official's office for that term.
