The number of signatures required for a ballot measure amending the California State Constitution is equal to 8% of the total votes cast in the preceding gubernatorial election.  Because it’s typical for many signatures to be invalidated and thrown out, our goal is to obtain another 1/3^rd of the designated amount in signatures to ensure a safe margin.

The initiative will be submitted to the State Attorney General and 45 days later he will issue “Title and Summary”. At that point, the clock starts and we have 180 days to collect our total amount of signatures.
