N. Dakota Fenced Hunting Initiative Turns In Incomplete Petitions
Posted by Tom Remington on August 12, 2008
According to North Dakota Secretary of State, Al Jaeger, the list of signatures on petitions handed in to him by the North Dakota Hunters for Fair Chase, was incomplete. Although NDHFC thought they had enough signatures to make the November 2008 ballot, Jaeger had to disqualify 164 signatures because they were contained on incomplete petitions.
North Dakota law requires each set of petitions to contain specific details to be considered as legal. Some of the petitions where missing pages, particularly one that was missing a list of the sponsoring committee’s names.
According to information I have received, North Dakota Hunters for Fair Chase have until August 27, 2008 to correct the problems and add more signatures. If this is completed by that date, an initiative could be allowed on the 2010 ballot.
The North Dakota Hunters for Fair Chase are attempting to pass a law that would ban all elk ranches which would include hunting preserves.
