Background
The two referendums were on proposed amendments to the constitution.[2] One would amend Chapter XV, article 2, section a to establish a new Higher Education Commission to license post-secondary educational institutions.[3] The other would amend Chapter III, article 4 to require a second round in the elections for governor and lieutenant governor if no candidate received over 50% in the first round.[4]
