Vote NO on MEASURE 2
Why is it so important to reject Measure 2?
Measure 2 is a three-pronged attack on our state’s ballot initiative process that would make it far more difficult for North Dakotans to write, qualify, and pass constitutional amendments in the future.
The ballot initiative process is an important check on the power of politicians in our state – we should preserve it.
Where did Measure 2 come from?
The North Dakota Legislative Assembly placed Measure 2 on the ballot this year after passing SCR 4013, the culmination of three years of debate following the failure of a similar proposal in 2020. That measure – also, by coincidence, named Measure 2 – was another legislatively-referred ballot question that would have significantly changed the process for passing constitutional ballot initiatives.
We think that making North Dakotans vote again on a proposal that restricts the people’s voice is an overreach by the legislature.
