Initiative process availability[edit]
The initiative and referendum process is mandated for all general law cities and counties and guidelines for the process are established by state law to a large degree of specificity. Idaho State Statutes Title 34 Ch. 18 lays out laws regarding initiative and referendum elections.[2] These statutes apply to all counties as all are general law counties.[3]
Of the 200 cities, 199 of them are general law and thus fall under this mandate.[3] Bellevue, the one charter city, has initiative and referendum in its charter and the rules and procedures are very similar to the state mandated rules and procedures.[4]
