(b) A proposed amendment or revision of this constitution, or any part of it, by
initiative shall be submitted to the electors at the general election provided the
initiative petition is filed with the custodian of state records no later than February 1 of the year in which the general election is held.

(c) The legislature shall provide by general law, prior to the holding of an
election pursuant to this section, for the provision of a statement to the public

notice of the date of election at which it will be submitted to the electors, shall be published in one newspaper of general circulation in each county in which a
newspaper is published.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided for elsewhere in this constitution, if
the proposed amendment or revision is approved by vote of at least sixty percent of the electors voting on the measure, it shall be effective as an amendment to or revision of the constitution of the state on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January following the election, or on such other date as may be specified in the amendment or revision.

This amendment's single purpose is to take power away from liberal and conservative activists to create change. The power will be kept in the hands of a select few. That is never good for democracy. Please vote against Amendment 3

I wonder if the the backers of the Amendment 3 have to confidence to only approval if they receive 60 percent approval? The question answers itself.
