amendments
Every Iowa voter decides these 1. Each page has the official ballot title word for word, what a yes or no vote does, and links to the full text.
- Amendment 1 1 Two-thirds vote to raise income taxesNeeds a simple majority of voters
Biggest change: Bills that raise the individual income tax rate, the corporate income tax rate, or the rate of another tax based on income or on legal and special reserves would need YES votes from two-thirds of the members elected to each chamber..
There is one statewide question on the 2026 ballot: Amendment 1, a change to the Iowa Constitution about income tax votes in the Legislature. The Legislature put it on the ballot. Iowa has no way for citizens to put measures on the ballot by petition. Source: Iowa Legislature: Senate Joint Resolution 11 (Amendment 1) .
