Glossary Term :  Ballot Measure
Definition :  
Comment :  Definition is too narrow as "ballot measures" are not limited to "the adoption of laws and/or amendments to state constitutions...." An expanded definition that encompasses all types of ballot proposals including millage issues, bond proposals, local charter amendments, etc. is recommended.
