BISMARCK -- North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe was informed a petition submitted last week to initiate a constitutional measure related to the election and petition process is being withdrawn by the sponsoring committee.
The sponsoring committee chair, Lydia Gessele, informed the Office of the Secretary of State that she would not accept the title as drafted by the Secretary of State and Attorney General, which must be a fair representation of the measure, as is required under North Dakota Century Code § 16.1-01-09.1(c).
Sponsors indicated to the Office of the Secretary of State that they may submit a new petition to be considered for formatting and a draft title. Resubmission will restart all timelines for the petition.
