Initiatives to Legislature
Between 1998, when I-200 was on the ballot as an Initiative to the Legislature and 2004, about 130 different Initiatives to the Legislature were filed, numbering I-201 through I-336. With the exception of I-297, I-330 and I-336, all of those approximately 130 initiatives were withdrawn or abandoned. I-330 and I-336 went on the 2005 ballot, where they were defeated.
2004 statistics
Thirty-nine "initiatives to the people" were filed for 2004. However, only 3 of these measures had enough signatures to qualify for the November 2004 ballot. (When ballot measures don't qualify, it may be because the wording was filed and approved, but an active campaign to collect signatures never materialized.) Two were filed too late to be assigned a ballot title, 4 were withdrawn by the sponsor, and 28 failed to submit signatures.
Four referendum measures were filed, yet only 1 was certified for the ballot. Three failed to submit signatures.
