"In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith."
 
- J. William Fullbright
U.S. Senator from Arkansas. 1905-1995
 
What Is A Referendum?
 
A referendum is a means of taking a law passed by the legislative body and submitting it to the voters for their approval or rejection.
 
It is a process for checking the normal representative democracy through direct democracy under certain circumstances.
 
In order to place a referendum on the ballot you must get a certain number of signatures from registered voters. The number of signatures required is dictated by state law.
 
The law governing referenda is Utah Code - Title 20A - Chapter 07 -- Issues Submitted to the Voters.
