Vote Requirements for Initiatives Requiring Supermajority Votes Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would require any future ballot measure proposing to increase the vote threshold for passing state or local measures to itself pass by that same higher threshold. It also authorizes local governing boards to place non-binding advisory questions on local ballots.
What each outcome does
If approved, future initiatives that propose raising the vote requirement to pass measures (e.g., from majority to two-thirds) would need to clear that same higher threshold to be enacted, and local governments could place non-binding advisory questions on the ballot.
If rejected, the existing rules remain: initiatives proposing higher vote thresholds can themselves still be enacted by a simple majority, and statutory authority for local advisory questions is unchanged.
