Since the wording is from the proposer of the GR, I would tend
to go along with him knowing what the proposal is all about. Also,
the full text of the proposal is always authoritative; the ballot is
simply there to identify the proposal well enough that the voters can
link it

Well, it is correct, but I see no reason not to switch the
sentence around, if it is clearer. Dato?

The single line on the ballot is not meant to be a full and
complete description of the proposal. It is only meant to identify
the proposal well enough that the voter can distinguish it from the
other choices. In this case, the wording has been vetted by the
proposer of the amendment, so I am sure that it is not deceptively
incorrect.
