North Dakota's tax commissioner describes a sales-tax exemption for qualifying IT equipment and software purchased for newly constructed or substantially refurbished data centers.

Sources and context

Counts are from Ballotpedia's November 4 update; the official state tally was not independently read. A no vote rejects added review requirements; it is not a yes vote on a data-center permit. The 430 denominator is votes on this measure, not city turnout. The proposal's industrial scope is broader than one named data-center project.
