Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 16.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the location of a district organization's endorsing caucus or an official district committee or district executive committee meeting.

AI Summary

This bill requires political district organizations in North Dakota to hold their endorsing caucuses and committee meetings within specific geographical boundaries. Specifically, a district organization must conduct its endorsing caucus or committee meetings within the exact geographical boundaries of its legislative district, as defined by existing state law. In cases where a legislative district spans multiple areas, including a city with multiple legislative districts, the meeting must still be held within that city's boundaries. This bill aims to ensure that political district organization meetings and candidate endorsement processes occur in locations directly representative of and accessible to the district's constituents, potentially increasing local engagement and transparency in the political process. The provisions apply to district organizations that have the right to endorse candidates for primary election ballots, and the requirement would be implemented through the organization's own established rules and bylaws.
