(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe said that he has approved the format of a constitutional ballot measure that would require the state to cover the cost of free school meals to K-12 students.
Sponsors of the ballot measure have one year to submit 31,164 signatures of qualified North Dakota electors to the secretary of state to be considered for the ballot, according to Howe’s office.
If the signatures are submitted by July 6, and are validated, the measure will appear on the general election ballot Nov. 3.
Robin Nelson, chair of the ballot measure sponsoring committee, said the committee hopes to have the measure be decided on that November ballot.
