Voters will decide the fate of three proposed amendments to Mississippi’s constitution in just over two weeks in the General Election.
We’ve learned it won't be as simple as which side gets the most votes.
Each needs 40 percent of all votes cast to become law.
Initiative 26 is the so-called personhood proposal.
It defines life at the moment of conception.
Supporters say it will ban abortion in the state. Opponents say it will limit healthcare for some women.
Initiative 27 is the voter ID amendment.
It forces all registered voters to show identification before they vote.
Supporters argue voter ID reduces fraud.
Opponents worry it will discourage African Americans from going to the polls.
And initiative 31 centers on eminent domain, putting restrictions on state and local governments who take private property for commercial development.
