Vote Requirements for Initiatives Requiring Supermajority Votes Amendment |
The California Vote Requirements for Initiatives Requiring Supermajority Votes Amendment, also known as ACA 13, is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot in California. The amendment would require initiated constitutional amendments that propose increased voter approval requirements for state or local measures to first be approved by the same majority requirement they are proposing.[1][a]
Currently, initiated constitutional amendments need to be approved by a simple majority (50%) of voters.[2] If voters approve the amendment, the Constitution of California would be amended to require any future initiated constitutional amendments that propose increased voter approval requirements for both state or local ballot measures to be approved by the same majority requirement they have proposed.[3]
