Voter Approval of Constitutional Amendments
Sponsor: Florida Citizen Voters
The marker is the 60% share this measure needed to pass.
In plain English
This measure would require that any proposed amendments or revisions to the Florida Constitution be approved by voters in two consecutive elections rather than one, with the same 60% passage threshold applied to each election, before taking effect.
Arguments for and against
Attributed claims extracted from the public record. Neither side is endorsed here.
Proponents argue that requiring two elections would provide additional deliberation time and ensure broader consensus for constitutional changes, contending that the current single-election process allows major constitutional amendments to pass with limited public consideration.
Opponents argue that the two-election requirement would create unnecessary delays in constitutional reform, increase election administration costs, and make it substantially harder to amend the constitution since approval would need to be secured twice rather than once.
Voter considerations
Voters might consider that this measure would raise the practical difficulty threshold for constitutional amendments beyond the existing 60% supermajority requirement, as it would require sustaining support across two separate electoral cycles.
