When Iowa voters reach the end of their ballot this fall, they'll have a chance to weigh in on whether the state Constitution should be changed.
The Iowa Constitution requires that every 10 years, the state must place a measure on the ballot asking Iowans if they support holding a constitutional convention to propose amending the state's Constitution. Iowans have voted against holding a convention in recent decades.
