This means at least 72 votes in the Florida House of Representatives and 24 votes in the Florida State Senate, assuming there are no vacancies. Once on the ballot, amendments must receive 60% voter approval to pass.<\/li><li><strong>Convention:<\/strong> A constitutional convention can be called if 15% of the electorate signs a petition requesting it, with the same distribution requirements as a citizen initiative. Any amendments proposed by the convention must be approved by 60% of voters in a general election.<\/li><li><strong>Commission-referred constitutional amendments:<\/strong> The Florida Revision Constitution Commision and the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission can propose constitutional amendments to the ballot.
