Laws governing ballot measures in Alabama
The Alabama State Legislature may place measures on the ballot as legislatively referred constitutional amendments. Referred amendments require a 60% vote in each chamber in one legislative session to appear on the ballot.
The Alabama Constitution also allows for the state legislature to call a constitutional convention only if a constitutional convention question is placed on the ballot and approved by voters. All amendments proposed by the convention are placed on the ballot for ratification by voters.
