Initiative and referendum; specifying time period for certain election. Effective date.

Summary

The bill creates clear minimum and maximum periods for holding special elections on voter‑initiated measures, requiring statewide special elections to occur between 70 and 250 days after they are called and local special elections to be held at least 60 days after the call (with a 45‑day minimum for certain school runoff elections). It also mandates that the governor issue a proclamation setting the election date within those windows after the Secretary of State notifies them. These rules aim to standardize how and when such elections are scheduled.
