Initiative and Referendum

Ballot measures can be separated into two distinctive categories - initiatives and referenda.

  • Initiatives are "initiated" when citizens collect signatures in order to place legislation on the ballot. Twenty-four states use this process.
  • Referenda are used by citizens to maintain the right to reject laws or amendments that the state legislature proposes.

Previous Initiative and Referenda Priorities:

2001 I & R Priorities

2004 I & R Priorities
