Florida amendment guide: Voters will get to decide on abortion, recreational weed in November
The 2024 presidential election , which is still two months out, seems like it has toiled on for longer for much longer than it actually has. For Florida, it’s more than just a vote about who will represent its people in the White House, as there are two huge amendments looming over the state.
Amendment 3 and Amendment 4 are both centered around controversial topics — legalizing recreational marijuana and abortion . In the 2024 election , Florida residents will get the chance to decide the fate of both topics, though most voters probably understand that — pass or fail — these issues will be talked about in the Sunshine State for years to come.
