Why is Proposition 91 on the ballot if the original proponents abandoned it? Why are the proponents of Proposition 91 urging a “no” vote?
Once an initiative has qualified, there is no legal mechanism to remove it from the ballot even if the proponents no longer support it. Elections Code sections 9067 and 9084 require the Secretary of State to publish the official initiative proponent’s argument in the official Voter Information Guide. The law does not permit the Secretary of State to check any argument for accuracy and/or alter it unless a court requires changes.
