Ballot wording and Yes/No explanations are quoted verbatim from the North Dakota Secretary of State’s official 2026 General Election Statewide Ballot Measure Information guide (published pursuant to N.D.C.C. § 16.1-01-18). Plain-English summary (Ballotpedia, secondary source): Currently, constitutional amendments in North Dakota must be approved by a simple majority (50%+1) of voters. The amendment would require amendments to receive a 60% supermajority vote to be adopted. The supermajority requirement would apply to both constitutional amendments proposed by initiative petition and amendments referred to the ballot by the state legislature. A Yes vote means: A “YES” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 1 means that future ballot measures to change the North Dakota Constitution would require at least 60 percent of the vote to pass. It increases the current vote threshold of greater than 50 percent to at least 60 percent for changes to the Constitution. A No vote means: A “NO” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 1 means there would be no change and future ballot measures to alter the North Dakota Constitution would remain at greater than 50 percent of the vote to pass. Supporters say: Supporters, including State Sen. Jeff Barta (R-43), argue: “Our Constitution is a much-higher governing authority than a simple law. It both defines the scope of government authority, and, very importantly, the limits on that government authority, so to protect the natural God-given rights of the people.” Opponents say: Opponents, including State Sen. Sean Cleary (R-35), argue: “Section three of our North Dakota Constitution is appropriately titled 'Powers reserved to the people,'...” Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source). Listed in equal length; Vote Book does not endorse either side. Plain-English summary (Ballotpedia, secondary source): This amendment would require all public schools to provide one free breakfast and one free lunch to students each school day, establishing the Healthy School Meals For All (HSMFA) program in the state. A Yes vote means: A “YES” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 2 means you support the state of North Dakota funding the ongoing cost of one breakfast and one lunch for all students at participating schools/school districts. A No vote means: A “NO” vote on Constitutional Measure No. 2 means you do not support the state of North Dakota funding breakfast and lunch to students at participating schools beyond the current free and reduced meals program qualifications. Supporters say: Supporters, including Robin Nelson, chair of Together for School Meals, argue: “Providing school meals at no cost is one of the most effective, research-backed ways to strengthen academic performance, reduce stress on families, and give every child a fair shot.” Opponents say: Opponents, including State Sen. Janne Myrdal (R-19), argue: “Really know what you’re voting on. You’re voting on burdening yourself with taxes.” Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source). Listed in equal length; Vote Book does not endorse either side.Constitutional Measure No. 1: 60% vote requirement for constitutional amendments (House Concurrent Resolution No. 3003)

Initiated Constitutional Measure No. 2: State-funded school meals (citizen initiative)
This amendment would require all public schools to provide one free breakfast and one free lunch to students each school day, establishing the Healthy School…Official ballot wording
This initiated measure amendment would amend and add a new section to article VIII of the North Dakota Constitution. It would mandate all public school districts, public schools, and public charter schools to provide one breakfast and one lunch each school day to enrolled students at no cost to the student, parent, or guardians. It would allow nonpublic schools, Bureau of Indian Education schools, and other tribal schools the option to provide the same. It would require the State of North Dakota to reimburse school districts and schools at one hundred percent of the current rates used by the state for free meals and the rate shall be adjusted annually for inflation. It would require the legislative assembly to identify a source of funds for reimbursement and if a source of funds is unable to be identified, reimbursement funds would be appropriated from the legacy earnings fund. This amendment would supersede any other part of the constitution that conflicts with it. The estimated fiscal impact of this measure is a $124.3 million to $134.3 million increase in ongoing biennial expenditures for the 2027-2029 biennium and will be adjusted for inflation every year after that.
