The process of ballot initiatives in Michigan is explained by its legislature as follows:<ref>https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/publications/MichiganManual/2009-2010/09-10_MM_IX_pp_01-03_Issue_Becomes.pdf</ref>
 +
<blockquote>An issue can become a statewide ballot proposal as a result of any of the following actions:
 +
<br>•  A citizen petition invoking the initiative relative to Michigan’s statutes.
 +
<br>•  A citizen petition invoking the referendum relative to Michigan’s statutes.
 +
<br>•  A citizen petition seeking to amend Michigan’s constitution.
 +
<br>•  Legislation enacted by the legislature including a provision that says the legislation cannot become law unless approved by a majority of voters.
 +
<br>•  A measure adopted by the legislature seeking to amend the constitution.
 +
<br>•  A constitutionally mandated provision placing on the ballot automatically each sixteenth year the question of a general revision of the constitution. This question was on the ballot in 1978 and 1994.
 +
 +
With the exception of the constitutionally mandated provision that automatically places the question of a general revision of the constitution before the electorate every 16 years, every ballot proposal is the result of either citizen action (initiatory petitions) or legislative action.</blockquote>
