Initiatives and referenda will appear on this webpage when the Secretary of State has begun receiving raw counts of signatures from county elections officials or the circulation deadline has passed. County elections officials have eight business days from the date a petition is filed with their office to submit a raw count of signatures to the Secretary of State. If the total raw count of signatures statewide equals 100% or more of the total number of signatures needed to qualify the initiative or referendum measure, the Secretary of State will notify the county elections officials to conduct a random sample verification of the signatures. If the total raw count of signatures does not reach 100% of the total number of signatures needed to qualify the initiative or referendum measure, the Secretary of State will notify the proponents and county elections officials that it has failed, and no further action will be taken.
