Early this afternoon, Referendum 71 was filed on the domestic partnership bill (SB 5688) passed this year by the state Legislature. This is the second referendum filed with the Secretary of State in the past week. R-70 deals with SB 5599, which would require our state’s electoral votes to go to the national popular vote winner in a presidential election. Since the referendum process is complex, it’s likely many people might have questions about it. Here is a Q&A document that covers many questions about this process.
