What It Does
Creates a single-subject requirement for both citizen-initiated and legislatively referred constitutional amendments, preventing bundling of multiple unrelated issues into one measure.
▌ Conservative Take
Single-subject rules prevent ballot measure mischief — hiding unpopular provisions inside popular ones. This improves ballot clarity for voters. Conservative voters: YES.
For conservative voters: YES is the clear choice.
Campaign Finance
No campaigns.
What It Does
Requires constitutional amendments to receive a 60% supermajority vote to be adopted, up from the current simple majority.
▌ Conservative Take
Raising the threshold for constitutional amendments makes the state constitution harder to alter on a whim. This protects North Dakotans from slim-majority constitutional changes. Conservative voters: YES — constitutional protections should require broad consensus.
For conservative voters: YES is the clear choice.
Campaign Finance
No campaigns.
What It Does
Establishes term limits for state legislators of four complete four-year terms regardless of chamber. Replaces the 2022 constitutional provision that required term limits to only be amended by initiative petition.
▌ Conservative Take
Term limits force fresh blood into the legislature and prevent career politicians from entrenching. Four terms gives legislators enough time to develop expertise without becoming permanent fixtures. Conservative voters: YES.
For conservative voters: YES is the clear choice.
Campaign Finance
No campaigns.
