HB 1463 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 16.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the location of a district organization's endorsing caucus or an official district committee or district executive committee meeting.

HB 1463 requires that district political organizations in North Dakota hold their endorsing caucuses and official committee meetings within the geographic boundaries of their legislative district, as defined by law. The bill specifies that if a district overlaps multiple incorporated cities, meetings must be held within that city's boundaries. It does not change election rules or candidate selection but sets procedural location requirements for internal party meetings. This is a procedural bill focused solely on meeting locations, not policy outcomes.
