You may be referring to the process by which people vote in state elections. There are several kinds of elections. Two of them are federal (for president, US senators and US Representatives) and state (for governor, state legislature). There are also municipal elections for mayor of a city, and sometimes "special elections," if someone in office died before completing his or her term and needs to be replaced. The US has 50 states and each one has its own elections. Thus, a state ballot is what you receive at your polling place in that state-- for example, I live in Massachusetts, so when I vote in state elections, I receive a ballot just for the candidates running for office in Massachusetts. Also, when there is a presidential election (every four years), voters in each state have the opportunity to participate in choosing a new president. The ballots during those years may include the state and the federal candidates.

Was a law passed by the legislature or was it ballot measure to begin all ballot measures in this state?
In many states, ballot measures can originate either from the legislature or through citizen initiatives. If a law was passed by the legislature to allow for ballot measures, it would typically establish the framework for how those measures can be proposed and voted on. However, in some cases, the process for ballot measures may be initiated directly by citizens through petitions. To determine the specific method used in a particular state, one would need to consult that state's legislative history or electoral laws.
