Signatures submitted

Proposed ballot initiatives were listed here when the initiatives' sponsors had turned in their petition signatures to election authorities, but the petitions had not been certified for the ballot. In some states, signature submission can take place over a long period of time and signatures can be submitted in multiple batches or must be submitted as they are collected. Only initiatives for which the signature submission process is complete were listed below.

Citizen-initiated measures with signatures submitted:

Any signatures submitted for 2022 initiatives have been processed.

Initiatives certified to the legislature

See also: Indirect initiative

This phase of the initiative process only applies to indirect initiatives.

Ballot initiatives in states that feature an indirect initiative process must go before the state legislature after signatures are submitted and enough of the submitted signatures are found to be valid. This presentation to the legislature is an intermediate step for successful signature petition drives between when an initiative petition is found to be sufficient and certification for the ballot. In some states with an indirect initiative process, the legislature can approve the proposed law themselves or put it before voters. In other states, the legislature has the chance to propose alternatives or amendments to the initiatives that can appear alongside the citizen initiative on the ballot.

Initiatives certified to the legislature:

Any 2022 indirect initiatives that were certified to the legislature have either been approved by legislators or referred to the ballot.

Approved by the legislature

This phase of the initiative process only applies to indirect initiatives.

Ballot initiatives in states that feature an indirect initiative process must go before the state legislature after signatures are submitted and enough of the submitted signatures are found to be valid. This presentation to the legislature is an intermediate step for successful signature petition drives between when an initiative petition is found to be sufficient and certification for the ballot. In some states with an indirect initiative process, the legislature can approve the proposed law themselves or put it before voters. In other states, the legislature has the chance to propose alternatives or amendments to the initiatives that can appear alongside the citizen initiative on the ballot. In some states, there are certain rules, such as legislative alteration rules, that don't apply if the legislature approves the initiative rather than putting it before voters.

Successful 2022 initiative petitions that were previously certified to the legislature and that were approved by the legislature instead of being put on the ballot are listed below:

Initiatives approved by the legislature:

• Alaska State Recognition of American Indian Tribes Initiative (2022)

Amendments

All states but Delaware require voter approval of proposed changes to the state constitutions, which can be put on the ballot in 2022 by state legislators or through initiative signature petitions in eighteen states. In some years, there are constitutional conventions or unique commissions in Florida that can refer amendments to the ballot. There are rare scenarios in which technical and non-substantive changes can be made to state constitutions without voter approval. All certified statewide measures in 2022 proposing to amend state constitutions that require statewide voter approval were listed here. This list includes any certified initiated constitutional amendments (in the first section) and legislatively referred constitutional amendments (in the second section).

The list does not include proposed constitutional amendments of local applicability that only required local voter approval. It also does not include amendments that did not require voter approval.

Statutes

Most statutes that go before voters are put on the ballot by a citizen initiative petition. While state legislators can refer state statutes to the voters in certain states, they generally aren't required to as they do with proposed constitutional amendments. In Arizona and California, voter approval is required for statutory changes of laws previously approved through a citizen initiative. The list below includes both initiated state statutes and legislatively referred state statutes that were put on ballots in 2022.

3. Montana LR-131, Medical Care Requirements for Born-Alive Infants Measure (2022) d

Veto referendums

A veto referendum is a type of citizen-initiated measure. But, instead of proposing a new law, a veto referendum is used by petitioners to seek the repeal of a law passed by the state legislature. The power of veto referendum is also referred to as people's veto.

1. California Proposition 31, Flavored Tobacco Products Ban Referendum (2022) a
2. Massachusetts Question 4, Remove Proof of Citizenship or Immigration Status for Driver's License Applications Referendum (2022) a

Referred bond issues

In some states, the legislature is able to or required to put certain proposed bond issues before voters. This section lists legislatively referred bond questions. It does not list other types of measures that happened to propose the issuance of bonds or other indebtedness. For example, initiated constitutional amendments or initiated state statutes that were put on the ballot proposing the issuance of bonds are listed under the sections of this article about initiated constitutional amendments and initiated state statutes, respectively. To see a full list of all statewide measures proposing the issuance of bonds, regardless of what type of measure was used, click here.

7. Rhode Island Question 3, Environment and Recreation Bond Measure (2022) 

Automatic referrals

Some measures are referred to the ballot automatically by a provision of a state constitution or state law. One common type of automatic referral is a constitutional convention question periodically asking voters in a state if they want a constitutional convention to be held to consider revisions to the state constitution.
