The Virginia House of Delegates passed three constitutional amendments Tuesday, including one that would strengthen abortion access, advancing the process that could get the amendments on the ballot for Virginians to vote on next year.

The House also passed proposed constitutional amendments on same-sex marriage and restoration of rights to people convicted of felonies who have served their time.

Passage of a proposed constitutional amendment is a multiyear process. A proposed amendment must pass the legislature in two different years with an election for the House of Delegates in between. (The House of Delegates is up for election this fall.) The measure could then go to voters in a statewide referendum.
