- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 In California, campaign committees can register to support or oppose more than one proposition. Campaign committees can also give donations to each other. When a campaign committee registers as playing a role for more than one proposition, it is not possible to say with precision how much of the money raised was spent for or against any particular one of the propositions it is playing a role in. This also results in a situation where adding up the contribution totals proposition-by-proposition would result in an overall total that is greater than the actual overall total. Maplight, a campaign finance watchdog, adjusted for this difficulty and reached an overall campaign finance total for the November 2 propositions of $147 million. Maplight, "147 Million Spent on California's Nov. Ballot Measures," November 5, 2010
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 In Maine, campaign committees can register to support or oppose more than one measure.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 In Oregon, campaign committees can register to support or oppose more than one measure. When a campaign committee registers as playing a role for more than one measure, it is not possible to say with precision how much of the money raised was spent for or against any particular one of the measures it is playing a role in. This also results in a situation where adding up the contribution totals measure-by-measure would result in an overall total that is greater than the actual overall total.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 In Maine, campaign committees can register to support or oppose more than one measure. When a campaign committee registers as playing a role for more than one measure, it is not possible to say with precision how much of the money raised was spent for or against any particular one of the measures it is playing a role in.

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 In California, campaign committees can register to support or oppose more than one proposition. When a campaign committee registers as playing a role for more than one measure, it is not possible to say with precision how much of the money raised was spent for or against any particular one of the measures it is playing a role in. This also results in a situation where adding up the contribution totals measure-by-measure would result in an overall total that is greater than the actual overall total. (e.g. The Yes on 20/No on 27 committee supported Proposition 20 but opposed Proposition 27. It cannot be said with certainty how much was contributed for each campaign effort.)
By type
There are several avenues by which a measure may qualify for the ballot: citizen initiative, legislative referral, automatic ballot measure, or commission-referral. The chart below organizes 2010s ballot measures by type or process by which each measure qualified for the ballot. Each avenue or type of measure includes varying requirements, which additionally vary by state. (See also: Forms of direct democracy.) The measures are listed in order of most campaign finance contributions to least.
