North Dakota voters approved a ballot measure Tuesday that bars people from running or serving in the U.S. House or Senate if they are to turn 81 years old during their term.
North Dakota voters on Tuesday approved a ballot measure that sets age limits on congressional candidates. The measure creates a new article in the North Dakota Constitution entitled 'Congressional Age Limits,' that establishes 'no person may be elected or appointed to serve a term or a portion of a term representing North Dakota in the U.S. Senate or the U.S.

Kelly Armstrong won Tuesday's Republican primary for governor of North Dakota, while longtime public utilities regulator Julie Fedorchak finished first in a rambunctious GOP race for the House seat he will vacate. Armstrong, who currently occupies North Dakota's lone House seat, beat Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller in the race to succeed Republican Gov.
