Getting measures on the ballot
As of 2023, Alabama state law did not allow for initiatives or referendums; therefore, all measures must be referred to the ballot by the Alabama Legislature.
According to Article 18 of the Alabama Constitution, both houses of the Alabama State Legislature are required to pass a proposed constitutional amendment by a three-fifths or 60 percent vote in order to send it to the statewide election ballot. If the amendment is approved by a simple majority of the voters, it becomes part of the state constitution.

| LRCA | HB 151 | State Lottery and Gambling Amendment | Gambling | Allow the state legislature to provide by law for a state lottery, pari-mutuel wagering at specified locations, raffles, and bingo; allow the governor to negotiate a gambling compact with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians | 
|
| LRCA | HB 166 | Authorize Legislature to Change Compensation of County Officers and Sheriff in General or Local Law Amendment | Salaries of government officials | Allow the state legislature to provide by general or local law for changes to salaries for county officers or a county sheriff; provided that the changes cannot take effect until the next term of office for such official |
