Brian Richardson and Mary Dillard v. Mark…

Summary

The court denied the challenge to the initiative petition, holding that the petition was timely because the four-month filing deadline fell on a legal holiday and therefore extended to the next nonholiday. It also held that the ballot title adequately and impartially described the proposed amendment and that the challengers failed to prove it was misleading or insufficient. Justice Danielson, joined by Justice Corbin, concurred in the denial but relied solely on the statutory election-deadline provision rather than the constitutional provision concerning voter registration.
