- initiated state statute - Earns a spot on the ballot when sponsors collect signatures according to the laws governing the initiative process in Michigan.
- legislatively referred constitutional amendment - A constitutional amendment that appears on a state's ballot as a ballot measure because the state legislature in that state voted to put it before the voters.
- initiated constitutional amendment - An amendment to a state's constitution that comes about through the initiative process.
- Veto referenda - When citizens of Michigan disagree with a statute or legislative bill enacted by the state legislature, they can collect signatures to force the issue to a vote. If enough signatures are collected, the bill is placed on the statewide ballot.
- Automatic ballot referrals - In Michigan, there is one such question, by law, every sixteen years, starting in 1978, the question of whether to hold a constitutional convention.
