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 new legal language specifies that "each constitutional amendment question shall be presented in a manner that the voter is making a single choice on a single constitutional amendment question," and it explicitly states that "under no circumstance shall a voter be asked to make a single vote on multiple constitutional amendment questions." This change aims to simplify the voting process and ensure clarity for voters when deciding on constitutional amendments.

Additionally, the bill modifies the wording that appears above the constitutional amendment questions on ballots, requiring that it clearly indicates whether the amendments are proposed by a convention or the legislature. The effective date of this act is set for June 5, 2026, upon its passage. The bill does not include any deletions from the current law but focuses on the insertion of new provisions to enhance the voting process for constitutional amendments.
