Ballotpedia's Tuesday Count for 2015
This chart shows on a week-by-week basis the number of ballot measures that were certified for the 2015 ballot.[1]
Certified means that the relevant state election authority legally determined that the ballot measure would be on a statewide ballot.
Ballot measures listed in the third column were certified in the week leading up to that Tuesday's count.
One of the reasons that Ballotpedia staffers create this week-by-week certification chart each year (starting in 2010) 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 2015 ballots ended at 28 measures in 9 states.

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.
