North Dakota voters just passed age limits for Congress. Will it hold up?
June 16, 2024/
How old is too old to run for Congress? Voters in North Dakota decided that octogenarians plus one year are not eligible to become candidates in the U.S. House and Senate. But is that legal?
More than 60% of the state—just over 68,000 people—voted to place age restrictions on candidates sent to Capitol Hill. The state has one of the youngest average populations in the country, with a median age of roughly 35.
