Answer:

Proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution may be made by a joint resolution of the Florida Legislature, a citizens’ initiative, a proposal from the Constitution Revision Commission, or a proposal from the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission.

A proposed amendment requires at least 60% approval from voters to pass [see Florida Constitution, Article XI, Section 5(e)].

Database contains former and currently proposed constitutional amendments or revisions.

Initiative Petitions

Visit the Initiatives website for information on how to:

Register as a paid petition circulator or access petition forms once registered

Attention: Registration to circulate petitions as a paid petition circulator is different from registration to collect voter registration applications as a third-party voter registration organization (3PVRO). While a person can do both activities, the person still has to register separately with the State beforehand. Please note if registered to conduct both activities that only persons who are already registered to vote can sign an initiative petition. To register as a 3PVRO, visit our 3PVRO webpage.
