NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — A former Idaho Supreme Court justice has delivered a petition to the governor's office with more than 16,000 signatures that urges him to veto a bill that would make it more difficult to put voter initiatives on the ballot.
The bill has already been approved by the Idaho House and Senate, the Idaho Press reported Thursday.
The bill mandates the signatures of at least 6% of registered voters in all 35 of Idaho’s legislative districts in order to qualify any initiative for the Idaho ballot. The current law requires at least 6% signatures from registered voters in 18 of the 35 districts.
