North DakotaPark district boards may match city candidate petition thresholds
A park district board may match the city’s candidate petition signature threshold if the city has changed its own threshold.
What it does
A park district board may use the same petition signature threshold as its city for board candidates, but only if the city has changed its own threshold.
Argument forMatching the city’s petition threshold could make candidate signature rules easier to coordinate across the city and its park district.
Argument againstUsing the city’s petition threshold could make it harder for some park district candidates to qualify if that threshold is higher than the district’s current one.
More detail
A park district board may adopt the city’s petition signature threshold for its candidates. This applies to candidates for the park district board. The city must have used its home rule authority to change the petition signature threshold for city candidates.
