House Bill 1273 WAS a bill to ban the use of both approval voting and ranked choice voting at all levels in North Dakota elections.
Politicians from across the state were trying to tell Fargo voters that their historic vote to adopt approval voting shouldn't count—and THEY JUST LOST!
Thanks to YOUR WORK to secure not only Governor Burgum's VETO but the bill's DEFEAT IN THE ND SENATE, approval voting is saved!
Contact the Governor and those Senators who voted "NO" to protect Approval Voting and THANK THEM FOR THEIR VOTE!
Every voice matters!
Contact the Governor and "no" voting Senators! Thank them for their "NO" VOTE ON HB 1273 no matter where they're from!
