The electors may amend the Constitution by initiative. To be included on the ballot a Constitutional amendment initiative requires a petition to be submitted to the Secretary of State with the certified signatures of 8-percent of the total vote for all candidates for Governor at the most recent gubernatorial election.
It's true that “while the U.S. Constitution has been amended just 27 times in more than 200 years, California's has been amended approximately 521 times in less than 100 years.”7 Both of those numbers are as they should be.
That is because an amendment by voter initiative is allowed, but a revision is not. A revision can only be made through a constitutional convention or by a ballot measure placed by the Legislature. A convention also requires action by the Legislature. This is pursuant to Article 18 of the California Constitution.
In order to prevent arbitrary changes, the process for making amendments is quite onerous. An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose.
The California Constitution can be amended with a legislative, citizen-initiated, or covention-referred constitutional amendment, all of which require voter approval.
