How to Remove an Amendment from the Minnesota Constitution

In Minnesota, constitutional amendments can only be repealed or removed by the same process used to adopt them:

Proposal Methods (Either)

1. Legislative: Two-thirds vote of all members of both House and Senate.
2. Initiative Petition: Signatures from ≥5% of eligible voters (based on last general election).

Ratification (Required for Both)

1. Majority vote of all members of both House and Senate (again).
2. Majority vote of voters at a general election (not a special election).

Important Constraint

The Constitution's Declaration of Rights (Article I, Sections 1–10)—covering free speech, religion, bearing arms, due process, etc.—cannot be amended at all. Any proposal affecting these is void.

Thus, removing an amendment is a heavy lift: supermajority legislature or citizen petition, then legislative majority + statewide popular vote.
