The question asked on the ballot was, "Shall a state Women's Commission be established by statute?"
A "yes" vote for a veto referendum is a vote in favor of the legislative act that those who collected signatures to force onto the ballot are hoping to overturn. A "no" vote is a vote against the legislative act that provoked the veto referendum.
In this case, Chapter 288 of Laws of 1977 did not become law.
