Problems and Purpose

The Rose Institute Initiative Database provides open information on all statewide initiatives adopted by voters in the United States from the first successful statewide initiative in 1904 to 2016. It allows users to sort voter-approved initiatives by year, state, subject category, and more, and to export data in a variety of forms to meet their research needs.

Background History and Context

Originally developed by Dr. Ken Miller of Claremont McKenna College and student researchers as the empirical basis for Dr. Miller’s book Direct Democracy and the Courts, the database supplements the book and provides a resource for researchers and others interested in the development and use of the initiative process.

Organizing, Supporting, and Funding Entities

The database is maintained at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government.

Participant Recruitment and Selection

The database is open to anyone with an internet connection.
