"I believe in the Initiative and Referendum, which should be used not to destroy representative government, but to correct it whenever it becomes misrepresentative." --President Theodore Roosevelt Colorado is one of 24 states with a ballot initiative process, sometimes referred to as "direct democracy." Ballot initiatives provide a means for individual voters to directly enact law. Important safeguards such as Colorado's "single-subject" rule help ensure that such proposed law is clear and understandable to voters. Questions? |
