Supporters of a proposed ballot measure that would set congressional age limits in North Dakota have one year to gather enough signatures to put the matter to a public vote.
Secretary of State Michael Howe on Friday approved the petition format, starting the timeline for those behind the measure to gather the signatures of at least 31,164 North Dakota voters.
Under the measure, no one who could turn 81 years old by the end of their term could be elected or appointed to the state’s U.S. House or Senate seats. Hendrix, who led a successful gubernatorial and legislative term limits initiative last year, told the AP that supporters of the measure “believe in principle that there should be a retirement age for Congress,” citing the median age for retirement of all Americans being 64, “although many do work longer.”
