Florida voters will decide on six proposed amendments in the November elections, including partisan school board member elections, recreational marijuana, abortion, homestead, and campaign financing.

As Floridians head to the polls this fall, they will face six critical amendments that could reshape the state’s future. Action News Jax has created a voter guide for each proposed amendment, providing insights from both supporters and opponents to help you decide.

One important and often confusing part of this year’s election cycle is the six constitutional amendments that voters can decide on which require 60% voter approval to pass into law. If approved, these amendments would become a permanent part of Florida’s state constitution and could not be bypassed by any act of legislation.

Prior to 1998, Florida held partisan school board elections. Amendment 1 seeks to restore this practice, reflecting the reality that many voters already consider party affiliation in their voting decisions.
