What a yes or no vote means
How Amendment 1 reached the ballot
Florida's citizen initiative can propose only constitutional amendments; there is no statute initiative or veto referendum. Petitions need signatures equal to 8 percent of the last presidential vote (880,062 for 2026), spread across at least 14 of 28 congressional districts, and the Florida Supreme Court reviews each initiative for single-subject compliance and clear ballot language. Amendments also reach the ballot by a three-fifths vote of both legislative chambers, and every amendment, however proposed, needs 60 percent voter approval to pass.
