Amendments to Constitutions in Other States

All 50 states have state constitutions, and all of these constitutions allow for amendment.

State amendments are not tracked well in most states. Constitutions are typically published online, with varying sources, formats and functionality; constitutional amendments, however, are not often clearly tracked. Below are some currently available resources for amendments in each state.

NOTE: Ballotpedia may also list some amendments. Some state legislatures offer databases of legislation that can be searched for constitutional amendments.

In 2024, the University of Wisconsin Law School’s State Democracy Research Initiative launched the 50 Constitutions project. This web resource aims to allow users to search constitutional texts and track amendment history.
