ELECTION AMENDMENT SERIES

THE PROPOSED Con~tutional improvement
Amendment is probably a misnomer. Any proposed
amendment should offer some improvement to the
Constitution. This amendment would improve only
the amending process and the extent to which it
does this, if at all, is questionable.
In addition to the somewhat insignificant pro-
vision that the Legislature may propose amendments
at special sessions: the amendment offers two basic
constitutional changes. It provides first Sat amend-
ments may be submitted for consideration at either
general OR special elections. At the present time,
they may be submitted ONLY at general elections.
Second, it provides that amendments must be placed
On a SEPARATE ballot containing no other t~e of
question or issue.
Unless the proposed amendment is vague in its
meaning, one new provision is optional and one is
mandatory. It "permits", but does not "direct" that
amendments may be submitted to special elections;
the mandatory provision specifies a sep~raticn of
Candidates and issues on the ballot.
BURDEN ON VOTERS
support or opposition to a proposed amendment, as
was true in 1962 when both wet and dry forces took
a stand on the liquor question.
But, in the same election, who bothered to ex-
plain the legislative amendment or the executive
and budget amendment?
The voter has few sources of information on
amendments and what they propose to do. One place
to which he can turn is the candidate for state-
wide office who quite often will take a stand on
proposed amendments, or offer explanation of them.
The present proposed amendment would shut off any
such source of information.
LEGISLATURE HAS AUTHORITY NOW
The second part of the amendment provides for
separate ballots for amendments and issues. If,
however, they are submitted at special elections for
the purpose of considering the amendments or issues
only, then there will be no other ballot anyway
because there will be no candidates. To submit
amendments at general elections would he an
admission as to the nonfeasibility or undesirability
of the first provision.
The first proposal seems to be the one saving The use of separate ballots for amendments, as
feature of the amendment. Whether it will be wise required by this proposed amendment, makes man-
to submit amendments at special elections is de- datory a power and authority the legislature cur-
bateable, but at least the opportunity is granted rently has. All amendments which were submitted
to the Legislature to try the procedure to determine between 1920 and 1930, inclusively, were submitted
its merits. Currently the choice does not exist, on separate ballots. Since 1930, all proposed amend-
