An Initiative to the People is the name of direct initiated state statutes in the state of Washington. An initiated state statute is a citizen-initiated ballot measure that amends state statute. There are 21 states that allow citizens to initiate state statutes, including 14 that provide for direct initiatives and nine (9) that provide for indirect initiatives (two provide for both). An indirect initiated state statute goes to the legislature after a successful signature drive. The legislatures in these states have the option of approving the initiative itself, rather than the initiative appearing on the ballot.

Citizens of Washington can also initiate indirect initiated state statutes, which are called Initiatives to the Legislature.

History and statistics

The people of Washington acquired the right to initiative and referendum in 1912, when voters approved an Amendment to Article II, Section 1 of the Washington Constitution. The measure was approved by voters in a vote of 72.49% to 28.41%.

The first Initiative to the People was filed on January 2, 1914, and a second version was refiled on January 8, 1914. This measure, titled Initiative 3, was certified for the November 3, 1914, ballot. Voters approved the measure, which prohibited the production and distribution of alcohol, regulated the transportation and keeping of alcohol, provided for enforcement and fixed penalties for violations of the act. Six other Initiatives to the People were on the 1914 ballot.

The most recent ITP was on the ballot in 2024.

Between 1912 and March 10, 2023, Washington citizens filed 2,009 Initiatives to the People, of which, 155 were certified for the ballot. Of the 155 measures, 82 (52.90%) were approved and 73 (47.09%) were rejected.
