Signatures filed

Proposed ballot initiatives are listed here when the initiatives' sponsors have turned in their petition signatures to election authorities, but the petitions have not been certified for the ballot.

The time it takes election authorities to scrutinize signatures that have been turned in so they can certify a measure for the ballot varies from state-to-state, averaging about 4-6 weeks.

Signatures filed, certification pending

State officials completed the evaluation and verification of all pending submitted initiative signature petitions.

Certified to the legislature

See also: Indirect initiative

This phase of the initiative process only applies to indirect initiatives.

Ballot initiatives in states that feature an indirect initiative process must go before the state legislature after signatures are submitted and enough of the submitted signatures are found to be valid. This presentation to the legislature is an intermediate step for successful signature petition drives between when an initiative petition is found to be sufficient and certification for the ballot. In some states with an indirect initiative process, the legislature can approve the proposed law themselves or put it before voters. In other states, the legislature has the chance to propose alternatives or amendments to the initiatives that can appear alongside the citizen initiative on the ballot.

The following is a list of indirect initiatives proposed for 2017 election ballots for which proponents have submitted enough valid signatures to put the proposal before the legislature:

- No 2017 initiatives are in this phase of the process.
