How many legal signatures are needed to get the initiative on the November 2010 ballot?
The number must total 10% of the votes cast for all candidates for governor in the last gubernatorial election in each of 26 of the 29 Utah Senate districts, and a cumulative total of 10% of all votes cast for those candidates in the whole state. Overall, we need approximately 95,000 verified, legal signatures. We want to obtain 10-15% more signatures to account for signatures that may be disqualified by state officials as duplicate signers, names of non-registered voters, etc.
