Explaining Statewide Amendment 1 on Alabama Primary Ballot
On Tuesday, a statewide amendment will appear on the ballot.
It will be on both Republican and Democratic primary ballots. Alabamians can vote "yes" or "no" on Statewide Amendment 1. It reads as followed:
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, to amend Section 71.01 authorizing the Legislature to sign and transmit local laws or constitutional amendments before the transmission of basic appropriations. (Proposed by Act 2023-562)
Many people may question what exactly this amendment means. Essentially, the proposed amendment makes a technical change in the way the Alabama Legislature moves a bill from committee to the floor for a vote.
