The second power reserved to the people is the referendum. Except as provided herein, an enacted ordinance may be subjected to a referendum by the voters of the county by filing with the Auditor a registered petition bearing the signatures of qualified voters equal in number but not less than 10 percent of the total votes cast at the last gubernatorial election immediately preceding the date of the registration of the petition. The petition shall be presented to the Auditor for registration within 10 days after the ordinance is passed by the Commissioners and shall be filed not more than 60 days following registration. Upon presentation to the Auditor of a proper petition for registration, the ordinance referred to shall be suspended and without force of law, until the Auditor shall determine that petitions with sufficient signatures have not been filed within the allotted time or until the voters ratify and approve the ordinance. The filing of a referendum petition against one or more items, sections or parts of an ordinance shall not delay the remainder of the ordinance from taking effect. Upon verifying the sufficiency of the signatures, the Auditor shall place the proposed ordinance before the voters at the next November or special election. (Amendment proposed by the Charter Review Commission and approved by the voters November 3, 2015.)
