Thank you to everyone who signed the petition to put stronger protections for crime victims’ rights on the November ballot! We were so pleased to submit more than 44,000 signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office on May 10th.

Sec. Jaeger and his staff now have 35 days to review and verify the signatures before we receive final approval. When approved, we will be given a measure number and North Dakotans will be able to make their voices heard that crime victims’ rights matter and that they belong in the State Constitution.

Our initiated constitutional measure will guarantee crime victims the rights to be heard, to be notified of proceedings and to be free from harassment. These fundamental rights deserve equal legal standing and protection to the rights of the accused. We are honored to help make this happen!
