About the Ballot Measure Rights Project category

This is the dedicated forum for members of the Ballot Measure Rights Project. Whether you’re reviewing draft language, asking your first question, or preparing to localize it for your state, this is the space to do that work.

You don’t need legal training to participate. If you’re a member of this project, you belong here—whether you’re bringing ideas, concerns, or just learning how the ballot process works.


:brain: Use this forum to:

  • Ask questions about how ballot measure law currently works (or doesn’t)

  • Suggest changes to the draft proposal language

  • Share legal research, historical examples, or public input strategies

  • Explore how this proposal should adapt to your state’s rules

  • Talk through enforcement, thresholds, summaries, or judicial review

  • Clarify rights for other members and help identify roadblocks

  • Raise flags, ask “what ifs,” and offer well-sourced alternatives

  • Track the proposal’s lifecycle and next steps for your region


:compass: What Makes This Forum Unique

This isn’t a general thread or an issue-based conversation—it’s the working forum for people actively shaping the Ballot Measure Rights proposal.

Every thread should move the project forward, whether through legal precision, public clarity, or shared learning. It’s a space for real participation—where confusion is welcome, but apathy isn’t.
