2006 statistics

Forty (40) "initiatives to the people" were filed for 2006, but only three made the 2006 ballot.[1] (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.)

Twenty-one (21) "initiatives to the legislature" were filed in 2006, and all twenty-one failed to make the ballot.

Four "referendum measures" were filed in 2006. Two were withdrawn by the sponsor, and two failed to submit signatures.
