A.2. Amendment Ratification

If the petition is certified, it shall proceed to a national ratification vote during the next federal election, unless that election occurs within one hundred eighty (180) days of certification. In that case, the vote shall occur during the following federal election. Only Citizens may vote on Charter amendments. Ratification requires the approval of at least three-fourths (3/4) of those Citizens voting on the question.

The full text of the proposed amendment must appear on the petition circulated for signatures.

If a petition fails to be ratified, it may be resubmitted.
