These states have different requirements for calling a referendum, but all of them allow citizens to petition for a referendum on a proposed law or constitutional amendment. In some states, the referendum must be approved by the legislature before it can go to the voters, while in other states, the referendum can be held directly by the voters.

Referendums are a way for citizens to have a direct say in the laws that govern them. They can be used to overturn unpopular laws, to approve new laws, or to amend the constitution. Referendums can be a powerful tool for citizen participation, but they can also be divisive.

Sure, here are the quorums for referendums in the 10 states with the lowest population:

State Quorum
Wyoming 14,000 signatures
Vermont 10,000 signatures
Alaska 25,000 signatures

South Dakota 12,000 signatures
Delaware 7,500 signatures
Rhode Island 15,000 signatures
Montana 12,000 signatures
New Hampshire 7,500 signatures
Maine 7,500 signatures

The quorum is the minimum number of signatures that must be collected in order to call a referendum. If the required number of signatures is not collected, the referendum cannot be held.

It is important to note that these are just the general quorum requirements. There may be additional requirements in some states, such as a requirement that the signatures be collected from a certain percentage of the population.
