The answer is Initiative
initiative
Initiative and referendum were ideas introduced to give voters more power. Initiative allowed voters to propose a new law by collecting signatures on a petition. Referendum permitted voters to approve or reject law that had already been proposed or passed by a government body.
It is called an proposition. It has to have registered voters signatures on a petition and there is a set number it has to reach. It goes to the state and they validate the signatures and then the law has to be vetted. It is edited for wording and suggestions made before it is placed on a ballot.
I think you made a spelling error. If you mean initiative, it is a procedure enabling citizens to propose a bill by petitioning with a specific number of signatures from registered voters.
Propose
Propose
In some states, voters can initiate a constitutional amendment through a process that typically involves gathering a certain number of signatures from registered voters on a petition. Once the required signatures are collected, the proposed amendment is usually placed on the ballot for a public vote during an election. If a majority of voters approve the amendment, it is then adopted into the state constitution. Additionally, state legislatures may also propose amendments, which would then need to be ratified by voters.
An initiative is a process that allows citizens to propose new laws or changes to existing ones. If enough signatures are gathered in support of the initiative, it can lead to it being placed on the ballot as a proposition. The proposition is then voted on by the general public, and if it receives a majority vote, it becomes law.
In many places, voters have the opportunity to vote on important issues, but in many other places, voters only vote for candidates.
