Florida voters have much more than a presidential race to decide in November.
Luckily, we’re breaking down the six state amendments that will be on the ballot:
Luckily, we’re breaking down the six state amendments that will be on the ballot:
Amendment 1 tackles the wording of Florida’s constitution.
Currently, it states every citizen shall have the right to vote. The amendment would change the word & #39;every& #39; to & #39;only& #39;.
Federal law already prohibits non-citizens from voting. https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-28/what-is-amendment-1-the-citizenship-requirement-to-vote-in-florida-elections-amendment">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-2...

If 60% of voters approve Amendment 2, Florida’s minimum wage would be $10 per hour in 2021. It would then increase by one dollar every year until it hits $15 in 2026. https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-17/what-you-need-to-know-about-amendment-2-raising-floridas-minimum-wage">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-1...
Florida is a closed primary state. Only voters registered to a party can vote in that party’s primary. Voters registered with no party affiliation can’t participate.
Amendment 3 would allow all registered voters to vote in primary, state-level races. https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-15/what-is-floridas-amendment-3-the-all-voters-vote-in-primary-elections">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-1...

Amendment 4 would add another layer to getting a constitutional amendment passed: Voters would have to approve an amendment twice, in two consecutive elections, for it to take effect. https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-16/what-is-floridas-amendment-4-the-voter-approval-of-constitutional-amendments">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-1...
Amendment 5 would add an additional year in which homeowners could transfer their “Save Our Homes” tax benefit when moving to a new house.
This would give homeowners three years from Jan. 1 of the year of the sale of the first home to claim the benefit. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article245925145.html">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/poli...

Amendment 6 would expand a constitutional amendment giving property tax breaks to older veterans wounded in combat.
If passed, it would allow spouses of these veterans to keep the exemption if their loved one dies. #Echobox=1601590547">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-28/amendment-6-would-transfer-veterans-property-tax-break-to-surviving-spouses?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter #Echobox=1601590547">https://www.wlrn.org/2020-09-2...
