Hurst v. State Ballot Law Commission

On June 24, 1998, this court issued an order on this matter, with an opinion or opinions to follow to explain our *826reasoning. The plaintiffs challenge a decision of the State Ballot Law Commission (commission) to include on the November, 1998, statewide ballot a referendum to repeal Chapter 164 of the Acts of 1997.3 They argue that the petition forms used to collect signatures in support of the referendum suffered several defects of constitutional or statutory significance. We hold that some, but not all, of the petition forms were improper, and remand to the commission for further proceedings.
