The U.S. state of Washington has had a system of direct voting since gaining statehood in 1889. Citizens and the state legislature both have the ability to place new legislation, or legislation recently passed by the state legislature, on the ballot for a popular vote. Washington has three types of ballot measures that can be voted on in a general election: initiatives, referendums, and legislatively referred constitutional amendments.

rdfs:comment	美国华盛顿州1889年建州以来一直保留直接投票制度，公民与州议会都有权将新立法、州议会最新通过的法案交全州选民表决。华盛顿州普选包含提案、公民投票、宪法修正案三类投票：项目递交表决前，支持者必须取得一定数量的登记选民签名支持。1898至1912年，只有宪法修正案立法公投采用全民公决。1912年通过的修正案规定公民有权主导提案与公投，1914年该州首次通过公民发起的提案。公民议案程序设立以来已获广泛认可，是华盛顿州选举制度的重要组成。截至2020年，该州根据该程序共提出两千多起提案，相比之下公投次数远远不及。只有少数提案取得足够选民签字启动投票。近年来，华盛顿州公民议案频繁用于把政治上有争议的政策合法化，如协助自杀、同性婚姻、使用大麻。部分活动人士采取有偿等激进手段争取签名，引发重大争议。 (zh) The U.S. state of Washington has had a system of direct voting since gaining statehood in 1889.
