MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable President of the Senate
Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington 98504
Mr. President:
On January 11, 1993, this office certified that we had begun the signature checking process on Initiative to the Legislature #141 which was originally filed with this office on June 11, 1992.
We have completed a canvass of 101,875 signatures out of 159,308 signatures submitted in support of this measure. Of the number canvassed, we have determined that 86,656 were signatures of legal voters, 15,219 were either not registered, illegible or were multiple signatures.
Article II, section 1A of the State Constitution establishes the minimum number of acceptable signatures in order to qualify an initiative measure for the ballot as eight percent of the total votes cast for the office of Governor, or 150,001 signatures. The total number of invalid signatures permissible on Initiative Measure #141, therefore is 9,307 (159,308 - 150,001).
Since the total number of invalid signatures discovered during the canvassing procedure was 15,219, which exceeds the permissible number, we have terminated the signature checking process and we are unable to certify the measure to you for your consideration.
(Seal) IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand
and affixed the seal of the state of
Washington this 5th day of February, 1993.
RALPH MUNRO
Secretary of State
