How can the New York State Constitution be amended?
Johntorresbrooklyn
First, a ballot question appears on election day asking voters if they want to call a constitutional convention. If that measure passes, then on the next scheduled election day, there are special elections for representatives to the constitutional convention from all over New York State. These representatives work together and come up with a new proposed state constitution (presumably based on the old one, but with changes). When they agree on one single proposal, there is another ballot question on the following regularly scheduled election day in which voters across the state are asked whether to accept the new constitution. If that referendum passes, then the new constitution is adopted; otherwise, the old one remains in force.
