Several North Dakota Bills Would Add Voting Restrictions

(Bismarck, ND) -- Several new bills would add more restrictions on how and when North Dakotans can vote.  

About two-dozen bills are under consideration by lawmakers that have to do with voting, elections, campaign finance, and other related issues.  

A House bill would require a person to live in the state for at least a year and in their precinct for 90 days before an election to vote.  

Another House Bill would put restrictions on who can vote absentee.  

A third House bill would exempt drafts of redistricting plans from open records requirements.
