This measure was part of a series of propositions from a constitutional convention called for in 1970. This included a vote on a full draft of a new constitution. Voters were given the opportunity to vote on four special propositions apart from the vote on the new constitution on the April 28, 1972 ballot. The four propositions were voted on individually and could become part of the constitution only if the proposition was approved and the new constitution adopted by the voters. Since the new constitution was not approved, the approval or defeated of these measures became moot.[3]
The other propositions on the April 28, 1970 ballot included the following:
- North Dakota Constitution, Main Proposition (1972)
- North Dakota Unicameral or Bicameral Legislature, Alternate Proposition 1 (1972)
- North Dakota Direct Democracy Signature Requirements, Alternate Proposition 2 (1972)
