Initiative process availability[edit]
- See also: Laws governing local ballot measures in North Carolina
State law NC Gen. Stat. Section 160A-104 mandates an initiative process for citizens to propose and vote on charter amendments regarding specific subject matters outlined in NC Gen. Stat. Section 160A-101.
State law does not grant ordinance initiative power to all cities. However, the North Carolina General Assembly has granted initiative power to certain cities, such as Raleigh and Greensboro, through special acts. In any city where an initiative has been made available, NC Gen. Stat. Section 159-17 states, "The adoption and amendment of the budget ordinance or any project ordinance and the levy of taxes in the budget ordinance are not subject to the provisions of any city charter or local act concerning initiative or referendum."[2][3][4]
