Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Concurrent Resolution No. 3003 changes the approval threshold for constitutional amendments in North Dakota from a simple majority to sixty percent. This means that to successfully pass any proposed changes to the state constitution, they will now need a larger backing from voters. This change is significant as it aims to ensure that only amendments with strong public support are enacted, potentially making it more difficult to modify the state's foundational legal document. The proposed changes will be put to voters during the general election in 2026.
