Ballotpedia's Tuesday Count for 2014

Tuesday Count 2015 →

← Tuesday Count 2013

This chart shows on a week-by-week basis the number of ballot measures that were certified for the 2014 ballot.

a Certified means that the relevant state election authority legally determined that the ballot measure would be on a statewide ballot.
a 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.

The total number of measures placed on 2014 ballots ended at 158 measures in 42 states.
