This page details signature requirements for statewide ballot measures in Kentucky.
Kentucky is one of the 24 states that do not have initiative and referendum. Thus, Kentucky citizens cannot qualify a ballot measure for the statewide ballot through collecting signatures, and there is no signature requirement for ballot measures in Kentucky.
Although Kentucky does not feature the power of initiative or referendum, ballot measures do play a role in Kentucky politics. Kentucky ballot measures come in two varieties, legislatively referred state statutes and legislatively referred constitutional amendments, which are both put on the ballot by the Kentucky state legislature.
