Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
| Shall Section 1, Article XVI of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to provide that for the general election in 1980 and 1982 proposals may be made for the revision of an entire article of the Constitution or the addition of a new article as a single amendment with only one question being required to be voted on and to allow constitutional provisions from other articles to be changed if such provisions relate to the subject matter of the article being revised or proposed, and so as to delete the requirement that a proposed amendment providing for a change in the bonded debt limitation of a county or any of its political subdivisions shall be voted on only by the qualified electors of such county?[1][2] |
