This bill amends the existing law regarding the form of ballot for constitutional amendments by stipulating that each ballot must present only one amendment per question. The revised language specifies that all constitutional amendment questions must be formatted to ensure that voters are making a single choice on a single amendment. The bill explicitly states that under no circumstances should voters be required to cast a single vote on multiple constitutional amendment questions.
The changes to the law include the insertion of new language that emphasizes the requirement for clarity and simplicity in the voting process for constitutional amendments. Specifically, the bill adds provisions that mandate each question to be presented individually, thereby eliminating any potential confusion that could arise from multiple amendments being grouped together on a single ballot. This act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
