| “ | Shall Chapters 849 and 892, Acts of the General Assembly of 1992, authorizing the Issuance of general obligation bonds of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the maximum amount of $45,173,000 pursuant to Article X, Section 9 (b) of the Constitution of Virginia for capital projects for MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES, take effect? | ” |
Path to the ballot
In Virginia, voter approval is required for state bond issues addressing capital projects.
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Virginia State Legislature to place a bond issue on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 51 votes in the Virginia House of Delegates and 21 votes in the Virginia State Senate, assuming no vacancies. State bond issues require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
