Yes.

As formal as you think it needs to be in order to convince people to
pass it.

Webster (www.m-w.com) defines it as:
2 a : to support or assist in contention or debate b : to endorse (a
motion or a nomination) so that debate or voting may begin
So I don't think the proposed constitution is using the word
incorrectly.
