Getting measures on the ballot
Citizens
In Virginia, citizens do not have the power of statewide initiatives or referendums.
Legislature
The Virginia State Legislature can refer statewide ballot measures, in the form of constitutional amendments, to the ballot. The Virginia Constitution requires a simple majority vote (50%+1) in each legislative chamber during two successive legislative sessions to refer a constitutional amendment to the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 51 votes in the Virginia House of Delegates and 21 votes in the Virginia State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
