Approved for circulation

From Ballotpedia

"Approved for circulation" is a term that some I&R states use to define a stage of the citizen initiative process. These are states where the ballot wording or language (sometimes called the ballot title) goes through an approval and vetting process with one or more state bureaucracies before it is deemed to be ready for circulation by paid or volunteer petition circulators.
