The four referenda are listed in a second official Voter Information Guide. California Constitution Article II, Section 8(c), requires initiatives to qualify for the ballot 131 days before a statewide election. Once that date passes, the Secretary of State begins the formal process of assembling and printing the official Voter Information Guide that is mailed to every voting household in the state. California Constitution Article II, Section 9(c), permits referenda to qualify just 31 days before a statewide election. Proposition 94, 95, 96, and 97 are referenda that qualified for the ballot long after the official Voter Information Guide had been sent to print. The Secretary of State produced a supplemental official Voter Information Guide that was subsequently mailed to every voting household in the state. Both guides are available at http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/.
