Justice ERICKSON

delivered the Opinion of the Court.

James E. Klodzinski and Charles R. Sar-ner, registered electors (petitioners), pursuant to section l-40-102(3)(a), IB C.R.S. (1991 Supp.), seek review of the validity of the title, submission clause,1 and summary set by the Initiative Title Setting Board (Board)2 for a proposed amendment to the Colorado Constitution concerning limited gaming. The petitioners assert that the title, submission clause, and summary set by the Board do not reflect the true intent and meaning of the proposed Initiative and petitioned for a rehearing. The Board held a hearing and considered the substance of petitioners’ motion to amend the language set by the Board: The petitioners’ proposed amendments to the title, submission clause and summary were not accepted and the petitioners’ motion for rehearing was, therefore, denied. We affirm.

I

The Board conducted the public meeting required by section 1-40-101(2) and it set the title, submission clause, and summary for an initiated constitutional amendment (Initiative) to articles IX and XVIII of the Colorado Constitution. The Initiative would extend limited gaming to several Colorado cities, towns, and counties, and would add to games of chance that may be conducted where limited gaming is permitted. In addition, the Initiative would allow the general assembly to increase the maximum single bet above the present limit, and would change the gaming tax revenue allocation from the general fund to the public school fund. The text of the Initiative is included as an appendix to this opinion. Petitioners contested the validity of the title, submission clause, and summary fixed by the Board and filed a motion for rehearing under section l-40-102(3)(a), IB C.R.S. (1991 Supp.).3 The Board heard the petition for rehearing on February 28, 1992, and the proposal for amendment of the language of the title, submission clause, and summary, and denied the motion. Pursuant to section l-40-102(3)(a), review is sought in this court.

II

The question is whether the language set by the Board for the title, submission clause, and summary fairly and correctly expresses the true intent and meaning of the Initiative and adequately informs sign*1025ers of petitions and voters of its effects.4 We answer the question in the affirmative.

The title, submission clause, and summary at issue provide:

> *Title*

> AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XVIII OF THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION TO PERMIT LIMITED GAMING, SUBJECT TO AN AFFIRMATIVE LOCAL VOTE, THE CITIES AND TOWNS OF BURLINGTON, EVANS, LAMAR, LAS ANIMAS, STERLING, ANTONITO, GARDEN CITY, GRANADA, HOLLY, JULESBURG, MILLIKEN, OVID, PEETZ, AND SEDGWICK AND THE COUNTIES OF LOGAN, PROW-ERS, AND SEDGWICK; TO ADD TO THE TYPES OF GAMES WHICH MAY BE CONDUCTED WHERE LIMITED GAMING IS PERMITTED; TO ALLOW THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM SINGLE BET ABOVE THE PRESENT FIVE-DOLLAR LIMIT; TO ALLOCATE TAX REVENUES DERIVED FROM LIMITED GAMING ACTIVITIES; AND TO CHANGE THE TAX REVENUE ALLOCATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND IF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONTINUES SCHOOL FUNDING AT NO LESS THAN THE LEVEL ESTABLISHED AT THE 1992 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

> *Submission Clause*

> SHALL THERE BE AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XVIII OF THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION TO PERMIT LIMITED GAMING, SUBJECT TO AN AFFIRMATIVE LOCAL VOTE, IN THE CITIES AND TOWNS OF BURLINGTON, EVANS, LAMAR, LAS ANI-MAS, STERLING, ANTONITO, GARDEN CITY, GRANADA, HOLLY, JULESBURG, MILLIKEN, OVID, PEETZ, AND SEDGWICK AND THE COUNTIES OF LOGAN, PROWERS, AND SEDGWICK; TO ADD TO THE TYPES OF GAMES WHICH MAY BE CONDUCTED WHERE LIMITED GAMING IS PERMITTED; TO ALLOW THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM SINGLE BET ABOVE THE PRESENT FIVE-DOLLAR LIMIT; TO ALLOCATE TAX REVENUES DERIVED FROM LIMITED GAMING ACTIVITIES; AND TO CHANGE THE TAX REVENUE ALLOCATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND IF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONTINUES SCHOOL FUNDING AT NO LESS THAN THE LEVEL ESTABLISHED AT THE 1992 LEGISLATIVE SESSION?

> *Summary*

> This measure authorizes limited gaming in the cities and towns of Burlington, Evans, Lamar, Las Animas, Sterling, An-tonito, Garden City, Granada, Holly, Julesburg, Milliken, Ovid, Peetz and Sedgwick and the Counties of Logan, Prowers, and Sedgwick upon the approval of the electorates of such cities, towns and counties at special elections to be called by March 1, 1993, and set and conducted within thirty to ninety days of the call. All gaming under this measure is subject to regulation by the Colorado limited gaming control commission subject to licensing pursuant to local ordinances and subject to enabling legislation to be in place by May 1, 1993. The measure allows the General Assembly to increase the maximum single bet above the present five-dollar limit. The measure requires that gaming activities be confined to areas designated by local ordinances and within those areas, to structures, conforming to applicable local ordinances. It prohibits gaming between the hours of 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. The measure adds big 6 wheel to the limited gaming activities which may be conducted in all communities where limited gaming is permitted, including Central City, Black Hawk, and Cripple Creek. The measure *1026also specifies how gaming tax revenues shall be spent, with fifty percent of the revenues generated from all limited gaming activity and 75% of the revenues generated from gaming in the above-named locations allocated to the state public school fund so long as the general assembly continues to appropriate money to the schools at levels at least equal to the level of funding established at the 1992 legislative session.

> Limited gaming in the specified additional cities, towns, and counties and the authorization of additional games are expected to increase revenues to state and local governments. However state and local governments are expected to incur increased costs of administration, law enforcement, roads, infrastructure, and special elections required as a result of this measure. The amounts of these revenues and costs are indeterminate. In addition the revenues to the state public school fund will be increased while the general fund revenues will decrease.

Ill

The people’s constitutional right to initiate legislation and constitutional amendments is granted by article V, section 1(2) of the Colorado Constitution. The statutory scheme calls for the Board to designate and fix a title, submission clause, and a summary for Initiative petitions before they are signed by electors. *See*§ 1-40-101(1), (2), IB C.R.S. (1991 Supp.). “The purpose of the title setting process is to ensure that both persons reviewing an Initiative petition and the voters are fairly and succinctly advised of the import of the proposed law.” *In re Proposed Initiative on Education Tax Refund,*823 P.2d 1353, 1355 (Colo.1991) (hereinafter *Education Tax Refund Initiative); Dye v. Baker,*143 Colo. 458, 460, 354 P.2d 498, 500 (1960).

In performing its statutory duty, the Board is not required to describe every feature of a proposed measure. *In re Proposed Initiated Constitutional Amendment Concerning Limited Gaming in Manitou Springs, Fairplay and in Airports,*826 P.2d 1241, 1244 (Colo.1992); *Education Tax Refund Initiative,*823 P.2d at 1355; *In re Proposed Initiative Concerning “State Personnel System”,*691 P.2d 1121, 1124 (Colo.1984) (hereinafter *“State Personnel System"*Initiative). Nevertheless, the Board must consider “the public confusion that might be caused by misleading titles.” § 1-40-101(2), IB C.R.S. (1991 Supp.). The title must correctly and fairly express the true meaning of the proposed measure, and the submission clause set by the Board should be brief and should “unambiguously state the principle of the provision sought to be added, amended, or repealed.” *Id.*Similarly, the designated summary should be impartial and not an argument likely to create prejudice, either for or against the measure. *Id.*

In reviewing the Board’s title setting process we: (1) should not address the merit *of*the proposed Initiative and should not interpret the meaning of proposed language or suggest how it will be applied if adopted by the electorate; (2) should resolve all legitimate presumptions in favor of the Board; and (3) will not interfere with the Board’s choice of language if the language is not clearly misleading. *Education Tax Refund Initiative,*823 P.2d at 1355; *In re Proposed Initiative on Parental Notification of Abortions for Minors,*794 P.2d 238, 240 (Colo.1990) (hereinafter *Parental Notification of Abortions for Minors).*“Our duty is to ensure that the title, submission clause and summary fairly reflect the proposed Initiative_” *Education Tax Refund Initiative,*823 P.2d at 1355. Petition signers and voters should not be misled into support “for or against a proposition by reason of the words employed.” *Dye v. Baker,*143 Colo, at 460, 354 P.2d at 500.

IV

The petitioners claim that the Initiative adopts a new standard of zoning and structural restrictions for limited gaming and that the title, submission clause, and summary set by the Board do - not adequately inform petition signers and voters of that standard. The proposed Initiative requires that gaming activities be confined *1027to areas designated by local ordinances and, within those areas, to structures conforming to applicable local ordinances. Where limited gaming is currently permitted, the constitution restricts gaming establishments to commercial districts, and confines their activities, size, percentage of space used for gaming, and architecture. *See*Colo.Const. art. XVIII, § 9, 1A C.R.S. (1991 Supp.). The petitioners contend that these mandated constitutional restrictions are associated in the minds of voters with limited gaming. Since the proposed Initiative also utilizes the term “limited gaming,” the petitioners argue that a new standard of zoning and structural restrictions is contained therein. Based on *Parental Notification of Abortions for Minors,*794 P.2d 238 (Colo.1990), the petitioners claim that the voters are entitled to know of the new standard and the fact that it does not apply to cities where limited gaming is currently permitted. We find no merit in the petitioners’ claim. In *Parental Notification of Abortions for Minors,*the initiative required that parents of minors seeking abortions be notified and abortion was defined as “termination of pregnancy by causing] the death of the minor child’s unborn offspring at any time after fertilization.” *Id.*at 242. Since the proposed statutory definition of abortion was not included in the title and submission clause, we held that the title and submission clause fixed by the Board was not a fair reflection of the contents of the initiative and required that the definition be included in the title and submission clause. *Id.*Finding that the legal status of the fetus was central to the abortion debate and that “neither Colorado statute nor common law had addressed the issue of when life begins,” we held that the initiative adopted a legal standard that was new and likely to be controverted.

Here, the Initiative proposes no legal standard for zoning or structural restrictions for gaming establishments. *See In re Limited Gaming in the Town of Parachute,*831 P.2d 457, 460 (Colo.1992). The Initiative regulates and confines gaming activities to areas and structures designated by the ordinances of municipalities voting to permit limited gaming. The Initiative’s central feature is whether the named municipalities want to permit limited gaming and not where authorized gaming establishments would be located. Thus, the title and the submission clause fairly and accurately reflect that the Initiative would amend article XVIII of the Constitution to extend limited gaming to the localities named therein.

The petitioners also contend that neither the title nor the submission clause reflect that the Initiative will amend sections 9(4)(b) and 9(5)(b)(II) of article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution and be applicable to areas where limited gaming is currently permitted. The respondents argue that this claim should not be considered by the court because it is raised, with respect to the title and submission clause, for the first time on appeal. We find that the claim was properly raised in petitioners’ motion for rehearing and we consider it below.

Section 9(4)(b) defines limited gaming and section 9(5)(b)(II) governs the distribution of gaming tax revenues. Colo.Const. art. XVIII, §§ 9(4)(b), 9(5)(b)(II), 1A C.R.S. (1991 Supp.). Contrary to petitioners’ argument, the title and the submission clause clearly signal a proposed change in the scope of limited gaming that will apply to all areas where limited gaming is permitted. Both the title and submission clause include the phrase “TO ADD TO THE TYPES OF GAMES WHICH MAY BE CONDUCTED WHERE LIMITED GAMING IS PERMITTED.” Similarly, the Board designated language “[T]0 CHANGE THE TAX REVENUE ALLOCATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND” presumptively refers to the proposed amendment of section 9(5)(b)(II) and the presumption must be resolved in favor of the Board. *See Education Tax Refund Initiative,*823 P.2d at 1355. The Board is not required to state that the change in gaming tax revenue allocation will affect all areas where gaming is permitted or to state the effect the Initiative will have on other constitu*1028tional provisions.5*See In re Proposed Constitutional Amendment Under the Designation “Pregnancy”,*757 P.2d 132, 136 (Colo.1988); *“State Personnel System Initiative”,*691 P.2d at 1125.

The central features of the Initiative are the extension of limited gaming, reallocation of gaming tax revenues, addition of authorized games where limited gaming is permitted, and authorization for the General Assembly to increase the betting limit in gaming establishments. The title, submission clause, and summary set by the Board fairly and accurately reflect those features.

V

Finally, respondents have requested an award of attorney fees and costs pursuant to section 13-17-102, 6A C.R.S. (1987). Respondents allege that this appeal lacks justification and was interposed for the sole purpose of delay. Section 1-40-102(3)(a), IB C.R.S. (1991 Supp.), grants any registered elector, who claims that the title, submission clause, and summary set by the Board is not a fair reflection of the initiative, the right to file a motion for rehearing with the Board and, if overruled by the Board, to obtain review in this court. The petitioners are registered electors and the challenge is not frivolous. We decline under the facts of this case to award attorney fees and costs to the respondents.

Accordingly, we affirm the ruling of the Board.
