At the general
election to be held in the year one thousand nine hundred and seventy,
and in each tenth year thereafter, and also at such times as the general
assembly may, by law, provide, the question, “Shall there be a
convention to revise the Constitution, and propose amendment or
amendments to same?” shall be decided by the electors qualified to vote
for members of the general assembly; and in case a majority of the
electors so qualified, voting at such election, for and against such
proposition, shall decide in favor of a convention for such purpose, the
general assembly, at its next session, shall provide by law for the
election of delegates to such convention, and for submitting the results
of said convention to the people, in such manner and at such time as the
general assembly shall provide; and if the people shall approve and
ratify such amendment or amendments, by a majority of the electors
qualified to vote for members of the general assembly, voting thereon,
such amendment or amendments shall become a part of the Constitution of
this state. If two or more amendments shall be submitted at the same
time, they shall be submitted in such a manner that electors may vote
for or against each such amendment separately.
