Path to the ballot
A veto referendum is a citizen-initiated ballot measure that asks voters whether to uphold or repeal an enacted law. This type of ballot measure is also called statute referendum, popular referendum, people's veto, or citizen's veto. There are 23 states that allow citizens to initiate veto referendums.
In Nevada, the number of signatures required for a veto referendum is equal to 10% of the total number of votes cast in the preceding general election. Signatures for veto referendums are due 120 days before the next general election. A simple majority vote is required for voter approval.
