State Balloting Process
Proponents must file their petition with the Secretary of
State for approval before they can circulate. The request for approval
must be presented over the names and signatures of twenty-five or more
electors as sponsors, one of whom must be designated as chairman of the
sponsoring committee. The Secretary of State will approve the petition for
circulation if it is in proper form and contains the names and addresses of
the sponsors and the full text of the measure.
