A push for greater government transparency is back on the table in North Dakota. A newly resubmitted ballot measure aims to open lawmaker communications to the public, restrict legislators from voting on their own salaries, and impose a four-year lobbying ban after leaving office. Originally submitted and withdrawn earlier this month, the petition now has new sponsors, including former gubernatorial candidates. If approved for circulation, supporters must collect over 31,000 signatures to bring the measure before voters in 2026. Meanwhile, another petition seeks to loosen North Dakota’s vehicle window tinting laws.
Amy Dalrymple with the North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
