Statewide Amendment 10 that will appear on ballots throughout Alabama on Tuesday is a companion to the proposal for the Alabama Constitution of 2022, which voters will also see on their ballots.
Voters will decide whether to ratify the Constitution of 2022, which is a recompiled version of the Alabama Constitution of 1901.
Voters have approved 977 amendments to the Constitution of 1901, which are listed at the end of the document according to when they were ratified. Amendments repealed by later amendments remain in the document. More than 700 amendments apply to only one county but are listed with the statewide amendments.
The recompiled Constitution of 2022 repeals duplicative and repealed sections, organizes the local amendments by county, consolidates amendments that apply to economic development and repeals several sections of racist language. Voters approved the recompilation process in 2020.
Statewide Amendment 10 would provide that any amendments approved by voters on Tuesday would be added to the recompiled constitution according to the reorganized format. Amendment 10 would take effect only if voters also ratify the recompiled constitution.
You can see the proposed Alabama Constitution of 2022 on the Legislature’s website, along with the notes and memos about how it was developed. Earlier this year, Alabama lawmakers voted to send it to the ballot, with no dissenting votes.
Amendment 10 is one of 10 statewide amendments on the ballot Tuesday.
