2005 statistics

Thirteen (13) "initiatives to the people" were filed for 2005. However, only three (3) of these measures had enough signatures to qualify for the November 2005 ballot. (When ballot measures don't qualify, it may be because the wording was filed and approved, but an active campaign to collect signatures never materialized.)

Of the "initiatives to the legislature" filed in 2005, 17 were assigned numbers, and all 17 failed. Three were withdrawn by their sponsors, one failed for unknown reasons, and 13 failed to submit signatures.

Four referendum measures were filed, none of which were certified for the ballot. Two were rejected because of their emergency clause, one for no signatures submitted, and one was withdrawn by the sponsor.
