Best Answer

A set number of registered voters sign a petition to put a initiative on the ballot. It then goes to the state election office and they validate the voter petitions. If it passes the correct number of signed registered voters it goes to be written properly for the ballot and written for the ballot. The economic affect of the initiative is also studied and placed with the initiative in the ballot.

The initiative does only apply to the state-level government since the U.S. Constitution provides for a representative democracy only and does not contain any element of a direct democracy.

People can propose all kinds of law the state legislature could enact and vote on their self-enactment. In such a case one vote more than half of the voters voting thereon deems the law accepted and does not require action by any branch of government.

What is the different between initiative and referendum?

In an initiative, citizens or non-government groups gather petition signatures for a proposed new law to be placed on the ballot. The citizens vote on the initiative, and if it passes, it becomes a law even without the legislature or the governor voting on it. A referendum is a citizen action to repeal a law passed by the legislature. Not all states allow initiative and referendum. California, for example, does.


How does an initiative lead to a proposition?

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.
