Maine 2008 citizen initiatives

From Ballotpedia

This table lists Citizen Initiatives that were registered with the Maine Secretary of State. According to laws governing the I&R process in Maine, sponsors of initiatives have 18 months from the time the initiative is approved for circulation to collect sufficient signatures to qualify their measure for the ballot. In Maine, ballot measure elections are held every year in November. As a result, a measure that fails to turn in signatures by the January deadline in one year can continue to circulate (subject to the 18-month statutory limit) in the hopes of collecting enough signatures to make the November ballot the next year.
