Once an initiative or amendment qualifies for the ballot, you can find the corresponding voter pamphlet (produced by our office), which includes the ballot title, the pro and con arguments, rebuttals, what your vote means, and the complete text of each referendum. The arguments for and against, as provided by law, are the opinions of the respective authors.
