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 North Dakota, the number of signatures required for a veto referendum is equal to 2% of the state's population reported by the last decennial census.
A referendum petition with the required number of signatures must be submitted within 90 days after the legislation being referred was signed by the governor and filed with the secretary of state.
