Florida rejects all 22 proposed amendments for 2026 due to strict new petition rules.

No citizen-initiated constitutional amendments will appear on Florida’s 2026 general election ballot, as all 22 proposed measures failed to meet state legal requirements, according to the Secretary of State’s office. The outcome follows a 2025 law that tightened petition rules and increased penalties for violations, making it harder to qualify initiatives. Groups seeking marijuana legalization and Medicaid expansion cited insufficient validated signatures and criticized the new law as overly restrictive. The state rejected over 200,000 petitions for missing constitutional text, and no initiatives passed the threshold for inclusion.
