North Dakota s Legislature has sent a sweeping election bill to the governor after a late snag over whether to identify endorsed and petition candidates on the primary ballot.
House Bill 1253, brought by Rep. Scott Louser, R-Minot, is 83 pages detailing changes for election administration. It includes language updates and provisions for matching absentee ballot application signatures, helping people with disabilities vote and enabling technology additions, such as QR codes for smartphones. We re just making the best system in the country a little bit better, said Louser, who began working on the bill with the secretary of state s office in July 2020.
The 2021 Legislature handled more than 40 voting-related bills, part of a nationwide trend following last November s general election.
