The proposed resolution seeks to amend sections 1 and 3 of Article II of the North Dakota Constitution to allow individuals who own property in a political subdivision to vote on questions related to property tax or bonding in that subdivision. This change aims to ensure that property owners have a voice in decisions that may affect their financial responsibilities regarding property taxes and bonding measures. The resolution stipulates that these amendments will be presented to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the general election in 2026, with an effective date set for August 1, 2027, if approved.

The amendments clarify that, in addition to being a qualified elector, property owners will have the right to vote on specific local issues related to property taxes and bonding. This change is intended to enhance the electoral rights of property owners, ensuring they can participate in local governance matters that directly impact their property interests. The resolution also maintains existing provisions regarding voter eligibility and the administration of elections, emphasizing the importance of secrecy in voting and the legislative assembly's role in establishing voting regulations.
