A yes vote
A yes vote would require voters to elect a new lieutenant governor at the next general election for state officers when that office becomes vacant more than 60 days before it, would let the Legislature set the pay of the lieutenant governor and legislative officers by joint resolution, and would require an elected legislative officer to approve spending of legislators' travel funds.3 Where in the source: Proposed amendment, Parts I and II

A no vote would keep Section 127 as it is, so a vacancy in the lieutenant governor's office would remain unfilled, and the constitution would not gain the new provisions on the pay of these officers or on approving legislators' travel spending.3
