The Petition Process
Initiatives and Referendums
Referendums and Initiatives are similar in that they are tools used by the people to affect the laws of the State of Alaska.
An initiative petition is the process that is used to introduce and enact a law. A referendum is the procedure by which the people approve or reject an act of the legislature.
