May Change Iowa's Constitution 1920
Des Moines July 3 Ratification of the suffrage amendment by the Iowa legislature sparks debate on calling a constitutional convention after the 1920 election. If three fourths of states ratify, the sex qualification ban is lifted, but a convention to remodel the constitution would be needed. The question, last posed in 1914, may return on next year’s ballots. If approved, the general assembly would appoint delegates and arrange meetings for the convention.
