Summary

The California Constitution provides electors, through the initiative, the power to propose statutes and constitutional amendments and to adopt or reject them. An initiative measure may be proposed by presenting to the Secretary of State a certified petition signed by a specified number of electors. The Secretary of State is required to submit an initiative measure at the next general election held at least 131 days after the measure qualifies or at a special statewide election held prior to that general election. This measure would limit the number of initiative measures that the Secretary of State may place on each statewide election ballot to 5, prioritized according to the date of qualification. The measure would prohibit qualified initiative measures not placed on the statewide election ballot from being placed on the ballot at a subsequent election, but would allow a new initiative measure containing the same or a similar proposal to qualify for a subsequent election ballot.
