On May 17, the 10th circuit ruled that a state with the initiative process is free to provide that for certain subjects, initiatives cannot take effect unless they receive a “yes” vote of two-thirds of the vote. Initiative & Referendum Institute v Walker, 02-4105. In this particular case, the Utah legislature had provided that initiatives on the subject of “allowing, limiting, or taking of wildlife” needs 2/3rds voting support, not just majority support.
