This page is updated weekly throughout 2022 once the final count of statewide measures certified for 2022 ballots for the week is complete.

One of the reasons that Ballotpedia staffers track certifications on a week-by-week basis each year (starting in 2010) is to enable a rough estimate as the year progresses about how many measures will ultimately be on the ballot. That's because there is a rough correlation between how many measures have been certified by, say, June 15 and how many ultimately qualify for the ballot.
