Time, place and manner restrictions is a term used to refer to what courts and lawmakers set forth as limitations on petitioner access and initiative rights, even when the courts agree with and generally uphold broad, fairly unrestricted ideas about the federal or state constitution guaranteeing initiative rights.

Examples of court rulings that set forth time, place and manner restrictions include:

• Initiative 172 v. Western Washington Fair Association.
• Waremart v. Progressive Campaigns, Inc.
