Here are the 6 amendments Floridians will vote on in November

Tampa Bay, FLLocal News

In the upcoming November election, Floridians will vote on six proposed constitutional amendments, including significant issues like abortion rights, campaign finance reform, and the right to fish and hunt. The abortion rights amendment seeks to protect access before viability and has emerged as a pivotal topic following recent state legislation restricting abortion after six weeks. Voters will also consider a repeal of a matching funds program that was intended to limit the influence of big-money donors in elections, a proposal that has faced criticism as welfare for politicians. The amendment to guarantee the right to fish and hunt underscores the importance of outdoor traditions in Florida's culture, garnering support from various outdoors groups. Each of these amendments requires at least 60% approval from voters to pass, reflecting the significant weight of these decisions on the state's future.

The outcome of this election could have lasting implications for the political landscape and individual rights in Florida. As voters engage with these critical issues, the November ballot represents a chance for Floridians to shape their Constitution in line with their values. With a diverse array of topics on the ballot, this election is expected to draw heightened interest and participation from the electorate.
