Amendments and revisions A constitutional amendment may be placed on the ballot by either a two-thirds vote in the California State Legislature or by signatures equal to 8% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election through the exercise of the initiative power by the voters.
How is the California Constitution changed most easily? The people can approve a proposition with no further action.

A convention also requires action by the Legislature. This is pursuant to Article 18 of the California Constitution.
