This is a research page for collecting information to track the number of initiatives filed in each of the states with an initiative or referendum. This page is updated within the first week of each month and lists the number of proposed initiatives as of the first day of the month through August 2017.[1]
This page does count:
- Ballot initiatives and veto measures that were filed for the 2017 election cycle.
- Initiatives that were withdrawn or abandoned after they were filed.
- Initiatives that failed to qualify for the ballot because they missed a petition drive deadline.
- Initiatives that were filed in states with a rolling petition deadline that might still qualify for the 2018 ballot.[2]
- Multiple versions of what appears to be basically the same initiative.[3]
- Initiatives that qualified for a 2017 ballot.
This page does not count:
- Ballot initiatives and veto measures that were filed for the 2018 election cycle or the 2016 election cycle.
- Ballot measures proposed by a state legislature.[4]
- Initiatives that groups said they were going to file but did not actually file.

- ↑ As evidenced by the fact that the multiple versions were filed by the same sponsor or group of sponsors and include very similar but not entirely identical language.
