Question 10 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

Which statement applies to both the recall and referendum processes?

Answer
A
The origin of the recall and referendum begins with the legislature.
B
The citizens gather petition signatures as part of both processes.
C
The legislature must approve both before the processes go to the voters.
D
The governor can veto the outcome of a recall or referendum.

Explanation

Both recall and referendum processes can be initiated through petitions signed by citizens. In a recall, voters may petition to remove an elected official; in a referendum, citizens may petition to put a law or issue to a public vote. The legislature does not have to approve both processes, and the governor does not veto their outcomes.
