Amendments to the Virginia State Constitution

Changing the State Constitution
Some of the League's legislative positions on reproductive rights, marriage equality, and expanding voter rights could require amendments to the Virginia state constitution.

One way to amend the constitution is through legislative-referral. Both houses of the Assembly pass a proposed amendment. Following this, the House of Delegates run for election. The newly elected legislature then passes the proposed amendment again and it then goes on the ballot in the next general election.
