Ballot-language PDF used.
Ballot prints generic "Yes – Means you approve the measure as summarized above." yes_means/no_means use the SOS guide's "What your vote means" statements (official, SOS).

Constitutional Measure No. 1 (House Concurrent Resolution No. 3003, 2025 Session Laws, Ch. 614) This constitutional measure would amend and reenact section 9 of article III and section 16 of article IV of the Constitution of North Dakota. The proposed amendment would require constitutional amendments submitted to the electors, by resolution adopted by the legislative assembly proposing a constitutional amendment and each initiative petition and measure proposing a constitutional amendment, to receive an affirmative vote of at least sixty percent of those voting on the question for enactment. The estimated fiscal impact of this measure is none.
A “YES” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 1 means that future ballot measures to change the North Dakota Constitution would require at least 60 percent of the vote to pass. It increases the current vote threshold of greater than 50 percent to at least 60 percent for changes to the Constitution.
A “NO” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 1 means there would be no change and future ballot measures to alter the North Dakota Constitution would remain at greater than 50 percent of the vote to pass.
