Arkansas ballot measures come in several varieties. There are:
- Legislatively referred state statutes: These appear on a state's ballot as a ballot measure because the state legislature in that state voted to put it before the voters.
- Initiated state statutes: These earn a spot on the ballot when sponsors collect signatures according to the laws governing the initiative process in Arkansas.
- Legislatively referred constitutional amendments: This is a constitutional amendment that appears on a state's ballot as a ballot measure because the state legislature in that state voted to put it before the voters.
- Initiated constitutional amendments: This is an amendment to a state's constitution that comes about through the initiative process.
- Veto referendums: When citizens of Arkansas disagree with a statute or legislative bill enacted by the state legislature, they can collect signatures to force the issue to a vote. If enough signatures are collected, the bill is placed on the statewide ballot.
From 1912 through 2016, a total of 122 citizen-initiated ballot propositions appeared on Arkansas' ballot. Of those, 58 passed and 64 failed.
