Often called "
direct democracy
", the initiative is the power of the people to place measures on the
ballot
. These measures can include poposals to create or change
statute
s,
amendment
s to the Constitution or general obligation bonds. In order for an
initiative
that sets or changes
state law
to qualify to appear on the ballot,
petition
s must be turned in that have
signature
s of
registered votor
s equal in number to
5%
of the votes cast for all candidates for
Governor
in the last election. An initiative amending the
State Constitution
requires signatures equaling
8%
