Parrish Report

An initiative's Sponsor may withdraw the initiative from further consideration and processing after it has qualified for election. This option to withdraw the initiative can be exercised by the Sponsor at any time, for any reason, prior to a specific deadline (e.g., a specified number of days after qualification, or a specified number of days after the public hearing, etc.) established by the Electoral Trust. If more than one individual sponsored the initiative, all of those sponsoring individuals must concur in the withdrawal request.
