Some text from

Minnesota SF1565 on Initiative & Referendum, which I support.

1.19 An initiative of the people that proposes a law shall be
1.20 placed on the ballot at the state general election if petitions
1.21 for it are signed by registered voters in each of three-quarters
1.22 of the congressional districts of the state, and of the state as
1.23 a whole, in a number equal to or greater than five percent of
1.24 the number of persons who voted for governor at the last
1.25 election of a governor in each of such districts respectively
1.26 and in the state as a whole.
1.27 A referendum of the people whose purpose is only to repeal
2.1 existing law shall be placed on the ballot at the state general
2.2 election if petitions for it are signed by registered voters in
2.3 each of three-quarters of the congressional districts of the
2.4 state, and of the state as a whole, in a number not less than
2.5 five percent of the number of persons who voted for governor at
2.6 the last election of a governor. If the law whose repeal is
2.7 proposed has not gone into effect at the time that completed
2.8 petitions are filed, the law shall remain suspended until the
2.9 question is voted on.
