Constitutional convention question on General Election ballot

Posted

DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation, as required by Iowa law, directing that the general election on Nov. 3 include the question whether to call a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the Iowa Constitution.

Iowa’s constitution requires that every 10 years, the people of Iowa vote in the general election whether to call a constitutional convention. If a majority approves of calling a constitutional convention, the next General Assembly would be required to enact a process for electing delegates to the convention and for submitting any constitutional amendments proposed by the convention for ratification by the people of Iowa.
