Mississippi is the only state that ever has had a voter initiative process and lost it. Mississippi voters deserve to have our right restored!

Daniel Sparks Only 7 times in 30 years did a measure qualify for the ballot and only 4 times did Mississippians pass an initiative. Mississippians have a solid record in regards to passing issues through the BI process. This is a constitutional right reserved to qualified voters.

As Russ Latino⁩ states, the Mississippi Constitution contains an express right of the people to amend by the ballot initiative process. Join us by letting your local legislator know how important this constitutional right is to you. #msleg magnoliatribune.com/2023/12/31/202…

Reinstating the Constitutional right to a ballot initiative process is one of the most important issues to Mississippians across the state. We applaud the leadership of Speaker Jason White for listening to the people and wanting to move a bill quickly. #msleg

We appreciate the steadfast commitment from Speaker Jason White for wanting to restore Mississippian’s constitutional right to a ballot initiative process. His powerful speech Neshoba County Fair Assn., Inc. is yet another reminder why Mississippians should have a voice in their everyday lives.

Sen. Jeremy England says he's urging colleagues to restore Mississippi's ballot initiative process, which previously allowed residents to propose changes to state law.
