  Reconvened Sessions of the North Dakota Legislative Assembly
  In 1976, voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing the Legislative Assembly to meet for 80 natural days during a two-year period (Article IV, Section 7, of the Constitution of North Dakota). The Legislative Assembly used this provision in 1981 to call itself back into session for redistricting purposes, and on June 16, 2015, the 64th Legislative Assembly reconvened to consider the final report of the Special Committee on the Resolution of Senate Bill No. 2022.
  Under Article V, Section 7, of the Constitution of North Dakota, the Governor may call a special session of the Legislative Assembly on "extraordinary occasions." In 2011, Governor Jack Dalrymple called a special session "to provide for re-districting of government pursuant to Article IV, Section 2, of the North Dakota Constitution following the 2010 census" and "for such other purposes as the Legislature may deem appropriate."
  Previous Legislative Assembly special sessions took place in 1892, 1918, 1919, 1928, 1937, 1944, 1965, 1984, 1986, 1991, 1994, 2001, and 2003 (for details, please consult the 2011-2013 North Dakota Blue Book).
