Amendment 10 protects the right to vote from being stripped from Floridians in all 67 counties by mandating that the five constitutionally appointed offices — sheriff, property appraiser, tax collector, supervisor of elections and clerks of the court — are independent and voted on by the people of their county.
But see Linder, supra note 15, at 733 ( Article five itself cannot be amended so as to create any new limitations on the amending power. ).
Citizens may propose amendments to the Florida Constitution through an initiative petition process. In addition to other requirements, this initiative petition process requires a specific number of petitions to be signed by registered Florida voters before the proposed amendment by initiative can appear on the ballot.
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 amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
