Voters will not simply be selecting their preferred candidates Nov. 2. Three amendments to the Indiana Constitution are also on the ballot. Unlike the candidates, who may or may not return on their policy promises (either through their own doing or otherwise), the voters' decision is the final word on these three issues. Unfortunately, many voters are unaware that these amendments are even on the ballot, and still others are befuddled by their potentially complex wording.\nAccording to Article 16 Section 1 of the Indiana Constitution, all amendments must first be proposed and voted on by a majority in both houses of the General Assembly. After legislative approval, each amendment must then be passed by a majority of voters in the next election. \nHere is a brief summary of each of the proposed amendments:\nPublic Question No. 1, if passed, would allow the General Assembly to make certain property exempt from state property tax. \nPublic Question No. 2, if passed, would allow the General Assembly to set a uniform date for the beginning of terms for certain county-level offices. \nPublic Question No. 3, if passed, would establish provisions to fill the position of governor should both the gubernatorial and vice gubernatorial seats be vacated. \nFor the complete texts of the proposed amendments, visit www.in.gov/sos/elections/2004Questions.html. \nThese are all important issues that need to be addressed by Indiana's residents. It would behoove voters to learn about these proposals before entering the polls. Once you're in the booth, it's too late to educate yourself. Our point: Do your research now, voters.
