voters initiatives

Voter initiatives are a process that allows citizens to propose and enact new laws or changes to existing laws directly through a referendum. This means that if enough people support the idea, they can gather signatures to place the proposal on the ballot during an election. If approved by voters, the initiative becomes law without the need for legislative approval. This process empowers citizens to influence legislation and address issues they believe are important, serving as a form of direct democracy that complements traditional lawmaking by elected representatives.
