BALLOT MEASURES

YES

NO

BALLOT MEASURE NO. 1

House Joint Resolution No. 5

Signatures for Initiative and Referendum Petitions

This amendment changes how to gather signatures for an initiative or 

referendum petition. It requires signatures from more of the voting districts 

in the State. It says that signers must be from at least 30 of the 40 house 

districts, three more than now required. It further requires signatures from 

each of 30 districts to be at least equal to seven percent of the voters who 

voted in each of these districts in the last general election. Currently only 

one signer from a district satisfies the requirement for district participation. 

The total number of statewide signatures required does not change. 

Should this constitutional amendment be adopted? 

YES

NO

BALLOT MEASURE NO. 2

Initiative to Legalize Marijuana

01MRNA

This bill would remove civil and criminal penalties under state law for 

persons 21 years or older who grow, use, sell or give away marijuana or 

hemp products. State or local government could not require a permit or 

license for personal cultivation or distribution of marijuana, but could 

regulate marijuana like alcohol or tobacco. It removes all existing state 

restrictions on prescription of marijuana by a doctor for all patients, 

including children. It allows for laws limiting marijuana use in public and to 

protect public safety. 

Should this initiative become law?

YES

NO

BALLOT MEASURE NO. 3

Prohibiting Bear Baiting or Feeding

03BEAR

This bill would make it illegal for a person to bait or intentionally feed a bear 

to hunt, photograph, or view a bear. A person could not feed a bear on 

purpose or use any item or substance, including food or other edible matter 

to entice a bear into an area, or to stay in an area. A person who violates 

this law would be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to 

one-year imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000. 

Should this initiative become law?

YES

NO

BALLOT MEASURE NO. 4

Repeal Temporary Appointment of U.S. Senator

03SENV

This measure would repeal state law by which the Governor makes a 

temporary appointment of a person to fill a U.S. Senate vacancy until a 

special or regular election can be held. Under existing law the seat 

remains vacant until an appointment is made. Under the initiative the seat 

would remain vacant until the election is certified and the senate meets. 

Existing law provides that a special election will be held within 60 to 90 

days to fill a vacancy unless the vacancy occurs within 60 days of the 

primary election for that seat. This initiative does not change that provision. 

Should this initiative become law?
