State Balloting Process
Ten qualified voters may draw up and sign an original
petition on which they put forward the full text of the law they want
enacted. Each of the ten original signers must obtain certificates of voter
registration from the board of registrars or election commission in the city
or town where they are registered voters. The certificate of voter
registration must be signed by at least three registrars. These certificates
and the original petition must be submitted to the Attorney General no
later then the first Wednesday of August 2001.
