ND SB2226

Constitutional amendment measures must be divided into clearly identifiable sections, with each section amending only one section of the constitution, and must include the entire text of each section being amended with removals overstruck and additions underlined.

Constitutional amendments exceeding five hundred words must be provided as full copies to voters at polling places with a ballot-printed summary of up to five hundred words that fairly represents the substance of the amendment.

Non-constitutional measures deemed too long to print in full require the secretary of state to prepare a concise summary in consultation with the attorney general that fairly represents the substance of the measure.

All ballot measures must be followed by a fiscal impact statement and a concise statement explaining the effects of affirmative or negative votes, with "Yes" and "No" options printed separately with ovals for voter selection.

Ballot measures must be grouped and classified as constitutional measures, initiated statutes, or referred statutes, with constitutional amendments placed first, initiated statutes second, and referred statutes third, then numbered consecutively.
