1987 Mississippi ballot measures

On November 3, 1987, the U.S. state of Mississippi held referendums on ten state-level constitutional amendments, with topics ranging from repealing a defunct interracial marriage ban to requiring political candidates to live in the district they hope to represent. None of the ballot measures faced organized opposition and all ten passed. Of the ten amendments, all but one, Amendment 3, passed by margins of ~40%. Amendment 3 passed by just 3.52%. Since 1912, this has remained the largest number of ballot measures decided by Mississippi voters in a single year.
