Ballotpedia's Tuesday Count for 2010

From Ballotpedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This chart shows on a week-by-week basis the number of ballot measures that were certified for the 2010 ballot.[1]

Approveda Certified means that the relevant state election authority legally determined that the ballot measure would be on a statewide ballot.
Approveda Ballot measures listed in the third column were certified in the week leading up to that Tuesday's count.

2010 is the first year that Ballotpedia staffers created this week-by-week certification chart. The purpose of creating it each year is to enable a rough estimate as the year progresses about how many total measures will ultimately be on the ballot. That's because there is a rough correlation between how many measures are certified on, say, June 15 and how many ultimately qualify for the ballot.[2]

The total number of measures placed on 2010 ballots ended at 184 measures in 38 states.

Footnotes

  1. If it was discovered in, for example, June that the chart had been missing a measure all year that was legally certified before January 1, the chart was retroactively updated in each cell to reflect that reality.
  2. "Ballot measures certified over time"
  3. The District of Columbia also has a ballot measure on its November 2 ballot - Washington, D.C. Attorney General Selection (2010). On Ballotpedia, the DC ballot measure is counted as a local ballot measure, grouped in with local, city-wide ballot measures from cities such as Los Angeles, Houston or Detroit.
