2 Constitutional Amendments to be aware of because they could effect future elections, though there are 6:  

Amendment 3 if passed establishes a top-two open primary system for state office primary election, meaning basically anyone not just registered democrats and republicans could vote in the August primaries in the future

Amendment 4 if passed requires voter-approved constitutional amendments to be approved by voters at a second general election, meaning basically that our MMJ amendment would have needed to be voted for twice above 60% if this is law as would any future amendment for anything unless the legislature decides to put the question on then it would still only need one vote
