Four civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer each one in the Northern Mariana Islands, using the instructions USCIS prints with the questions and names taken from official government sources on October 20, 2026.

Elections on November 3, 2026Many Senate seats, every House seat and many governorships are on the ballot. Winners take office in January 2027 or on the date their state sets, so some names on this page may change soon.

The senator and capital questions are also among the 65/20 questions on the 2008 version (and the governor question on the 2025 version), so applicants studying only the 20 starred questions still need these answers.
