A simple majority vote was required during one legislative session for the Minnesota State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Before 1898, when voters approved Amendment 2, a measure passed if it received a simple majority of votes cast on the measure itself, rather than a majority of all votes cast in the election.
