Vote yes or no on Florida Amendments? What Amendment 2 means, forever fishing and hunting

Do you know about the 2024 Florida Amendments?

Florida voters will be faced with six constitutional amendment proposals on the Nov. 5 ballot. Each needs at least 60% of votes to be enshrined in the Florida Constitution.

Are you still unsure about what each amendment means and whether you're going to cast a "yes" or "no" vote?

In this story, we highlight Amendment 2 to help you prepare for Election Day, which is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. The deadline to register to vote in the general election is Monday, Oct. 7. The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot, previously known as an "absentee ballot," is Thursday, Oct. 24. If you wanted to vote on the candidates and the six Florida Amendments ahead of time, early voting runs Saturday, Oct. 26, to Saturday, Nov. 2, with times varying by county.

Summary: Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to preserve forever fishing and hunting, including by the use of traditional methods, as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife. Specifies that the amendment does not limit the authority granted to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission under Section of Article IV of the State Constitution.
