In 1987, ten ballot measures were held in the U.S. state of Mississippi on ten proposed amendments to the state constitution, with topics that included symbolically legalizing interracial marriage and requiring political candidates to live in the district that they seek to represent (ballot pictured). This has remained the largest number of ballot measures decided by Mississippi voters in a single year since 1912. Of the ten ballot measures, all but one passed by wide margins; the exception was Amendment 3, which repealed Mississippi's unenforceable ban on interracial marriage, and narrowly passed with 51.76 percent of voters in favor.
