The League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) adopted a position on the initiative and referendum (IR) process in 1984 and updated it in 1999. This year, LWVC has decided to conduct another update study, and the LWVDV board has voted to participate in this crucial study. Our state Initiative and Referendum (I-R) Update Study group will meet to: Consider the I-R process The ways other states and nations approach these democratic functions Our current League positions Possible alternatives and improvements to different stages of the process This study will continue throughout 2012. It's an excellent way to address a process with a major impact on California budget and governance, and one that addresses core questions of democracy.
