Admission to the union requires an act of Congress. I think Congress sets all the rules as it wishes, but in past, the government of the territory that wants to become a state would draw up a proposed constitution. I think they all had a general election that showed that a majority in the territory wanted statehood and approved the proposed state constitution.
