No official text captured: CEC ballot specimen on votecnmi.gov.mp (created Sept 17, 2026 01:43 PDT) does NOT contain the question; it predates/omits the CEC Sept 16 decision to reprint ballots. Needs updated CEC specimen or EO 2026-019 text.
Question wording per news reports (both Marianas Press and Pacific Island Times quote identically): "Shall there be a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the Constitution?" — not stored in ballot_text because not from an official source.
News: CEC first deadlocked 3-3, then voted 6-0 to place the question (NMI News Service headline; site returned 403/Cloudflare to curl). Passage threshold reported as two-thirds of votes cast.
No official explanation, yes/no statements, arguments or fiscal note located.
News quote (not official ballot text): "Shall there be a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the Constitution?" — NMI News Service (browser-loaded 2026-10-10), reporting the CEC 6-0 vote on Sept 16, 2026; also quoted identically by Marianas Press (Sept 17) and Pacific Island Times (Sept 14). ballot_text kept null.
GAP-FILL 2026-10-10: Ballotpedia reconciliation: our dataset has 165 measures (146 on Nov 3) vs Ballotpedia 164 (145 on Nov 3). The difference is this CNMI measure: Ballotpedia counts only the 50 states, not territories. Without this record, our totals are 164 / 145, matching Ballotpedia exactly.
