voter approval requirement

A voter approval requirement means that for certain decisions—like passing a new law, amending a constitution, or approving a budget—a specific number or percentage of voters must agree for it to be approved. This requirement ensures that changes have broad support rather than just a simple majority. For example, some laws may need more than half the votes (a majority), while others might require two-thirds or a higher threshold. This process helps protect important decisions from being made by a small, unrepresentative group and ensures community consensus.
