## Measure One Proposal
North Dakota lawmakers propose raising constitutional amendment threshold from simple majority to 60% for Nov. 3 vote.
## Supporter Argument
Rep. Gregory Stemen says current constitution is a science experiment for out-of-state interests with $1.2 million funding from outside.
## Opponent Concern
Opponents warn measure would make it harder to pass public health protections through ballot initiatives.
## Health Advocacy Push
American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network co-hosted event to encourage younger voters for healthcare issues.
## Key takeaway

North Dakota voters will decide if constitutional amendments require 60% approval instead of simple majority in Nov. 3 election.
