Laws governing ballot measures in Connecticut
From Ballotpedia
The Connecticut State Legislature may place measures on the ballot as legislatively referred constitutional amendments. Referred amendments require a three-quarters (75%) vote from each chamber during one legislative session or a simple majority vote in each chamber during two successive legislative sessions.
The Connecticut Constitution requires a constitutional convention question to automatically appear on the state's ballot every 20 years.
