PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Los votantes de Florida tomarán decisiones el 5 de noviembre sobre dos enmiendas iniciadas por ciudadanos sobre marihuana y aborto, y cuatro enmiendas propuestas por la legislatura.
Enmienda 1: Elección partidista de miembros de juntas escolares distritales Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen hacer que las elecciones de juntas escolares sean partidistas a partir de 2026. Esta es una enmienda propuesta por la legislatura.
Enmienda 2: Derecho a pescar y cazar Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen establecer un derecho constitucional para cazar y pescar en Florida. Defensores de animales temen que esto dificulte la protección de la vida silvestre. Esta es una enmienda propuesta por la legislatura.
Enmienda 3: Uso personal de marihuana para adultos Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen legalizar la marihuana para adultos mayores de 21 años y permitir que las personas posean hasta tres onzas de marihuana. Esta es una enmienda iniciada por ciudadanos.
Enmienda 4: Iniciativa del derecho al aborto Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen agregar que “ninguna ley prohibirá, penalizará, retrasará o restringirá el aborto antes de la viabilidad o cuando sea necesario para proteger la salud del paciente, según lo determine el proveedor de atención médica” y mantener la disposición constitucional actual que permite una ley que requiere notificar a los padres antes de que una menor pueda recibir un aborto. Esta es una enmienda iniciada por ciudadanos.
Enmienda 5: Ajustes anuales al valor de ciertas exenciones para viviendas principales Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen un ajuste anual por inflación al monto del valor tasado que está exento de impuestos a la propiedad. Esta es una enmienda propuesta por la legislatura.
Enmienda 6: Derogación del requisito de financiamiento público de campañas Los votantes decidirán si apoyan u oponen derogar la disposición constitucional estatal que establece el financiamiento público de campañas para quienes se postulan a cargos estatales electivos y aceptan límites de gastos de campaña. Esta es una enmienda propuesta por la legislatura.
