Supporters of a proposed ballot measure that would set congressional age limits in North Dakota have one year to gather enough signatures to put the matter to a public vote.
Secretary of State Michael Howe has approved the petition format, starting the timeline for those behind the measure to gather the signatures of at least 31,164 North Dakota voters.
Jared Hendrix, who heads the group behind the measure, said they hope to get it on the June 2024 primary election ballot.
Under the measure, no one who could turn 81 years old by the end of their term could be elected – or appointed – to the state’s U.S. House or Senate seats.
