This initiated measure would add a new article to the North Dakota Constitution. It would stipulate that an individual could not serve as a legislator for a cumulative period in excess of eight years in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, separately. It would prohibit an individual from being elected as Governor more than twice. Service as a member of the legislature or election to the office of governor prior to the effective date of this measure would not count against any service or election, respectively, of any individual that occurs after the effective date of this measure. An individual would not be allowed to serve a full or remaining term as a member of the legislature if serving the term would cause the individual to serve for a cumulative period of more than eight years in that particular house. Any amendment to this article could not be proposed by the legislature, but only by citizen initiative. The article would become effective on January 1 immediately following approval of the voters. In case of conflict with any other provision of the constitution, the measure states that the provisions of this article would prevail.

A "yes" vote supports limiting the governor to serving two four-year terms and limiting state legislators to serving eight years in the state House and eight years in the state Senate.

A "no" vote opposes enacting term limits on the governor and state legislators.
