The Citizens' Initiative Review

The Citizens' Initiative Review (CIR) is a process where a diverse group of ordinary citizens thoughtfully examines a ballot measure. They study the details, discuss different perspectives, and then produce a clear, balanced summary called a "voter guide." This guide highlights the key facts, benefits, and concerns, helping voters make informed decisions. The goal is to improve the quality of public debate and increase transparency by giving voters straightforward, unbiased information from a representative citizen panel.
