What can voters do in some states if they want to change their state constitution?
In some states, voters can initiate a constitutional amendment through a process that typically involves gathering a certain number of signatures from registered voters on a petition. Once the required signatures are collected, the proposed amendment is usually placed on the ballot for a public vote during an election. If a majority of voters approve the amendment, it is then adopted into the state constitution. Additionally, state legislatures may also propose amendments, which would then need to be ratified by voters.
