* Initiatives to the Legislature--In some cases, the initiative was approved by the Legislature without being referred to the vote of the people. In other cases, an alternative to the initiative was approved by the voters.
** Referendum Measures--When a referendum fails, it means that citizens sponsoring referendum measures were successful in preventing newly-enacted legislation from becoming law. Votes cast were in opposition to the measure referred.
