State Issue 1 would enact two key changes for future constitutional changes: For one, it would raise from 50% to 60% the threshold an amendment must clear on the ballot to pass; for two, it will dramatically increase the signature-gathering burden organizers face to get an issue on the ballot in the first place.

Critics of the proposal include Democrats, labor unions, former bipartisan governors and attorneys general, the ACLU, the Fraternal Order of Police, and others, many of whom describe the measure as “anti-Democratic.”
