The video explains the amendments on the ballot, focusing on Amendment 10, which involves three parts: changing legislative session dates, adding the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Constitution, and requiring certain county positions to be elected. The third part is controversial as it shifts power from local to state control. Voting yes means agreeing to all changes, while voting no opposes them. A 60% supermajority is needed for the amendment to pass. Viewers are encouraged to visit local10.com for more information.
