Changing the standard for voter approval of constitutional amendments in Hawaii.
This bill proposes an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to change the standard for voter approval of constitutional amendments proposed by the Legislature. Currently, a constitutional amendment requires both a majority of all votes tallied and a majority of all votes cast. The amendment would change this to require only a majority of all votes tallied, excluding blank, spoiled, and over votes as "no" votes. This change aims to clarify the approval process and potentially lower the threshold for passing amendments.
