No on Measure 1: Breaking Down the Proposed Congressional Age Limits Ballot Measure

North Dakota voters will have a chance to weigh in on setting age limits for federal congressional candidates at the upcoming primary election this June. The initiated ballot measure titled "Congressional Age Limits" or Measure 1 would prohibit individuals 81 years of age or older from being elected or appointed to serve a term representing the state in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives.
