The Petition Process

Initiatives and Referendums

Referendums and Initiatives are similar in that they are tools used by the people to affect the laws of the State of Alaska.

An initiative petition is the process that is used to introduce and enact a law. A referendum is the procedure by which the people approve or reject an act of the legislature.

Recalls

The recall petition is the procedure by which the people may remove the governor, lieutenant governor, or members of the state legislature from office.

In Regional Educational Attendance Areas (REAA), the members of a regional school board may also be recalled.
