The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would allow registered voters to initiate a process for proposing amendments through a petition. Specifically, the amendment would enable citizens to gather signatures from at least 10% of the voters in a county, based on the votes cast for the Office of Governor in the most recent general election, to place a proposed amendment on the ballot. This proposed amendment, designated as "Amendment No. 1" and titled "Granting Citizens the Right to Amend the State Constitution Amendment," would be presented to voters at the next general election in 2026, requiring a minimum approval of 60% of votes cast for the amendment to be ratified.

Additionally, the resolution maintains the existing legislative process for proposing constitutional amendments, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Legislature. The proposed amendment aims to enhance democratic participation by empowering citizens to directly influence constitutional changes, while ensuring that any amendments, whether proposed by the Legislature or by citizens, are subject to a clear and structured voting process. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public engagement in the constitutional amendment process and outlines the necessary steps for both legislative and citizen-initiated proposals.
