The term that describes a citizen's right in Arkansas to introduce a potential new law to a ballot is known as an "initiative." To determine the correct answer, it is useful to understand the process of citizen-initiated initiatives in the context of Arkansas.
To introduce a potential new law to a ballot through an initiative, Arkansas citizens can draft a proposed law and collect a specified number of valid signatures from registered voters. The required number of signatures is determined based on a percentage of the votes cast in the previous gubernatorial election. Once the required number of signatures is obtained, the proposed law can be placed on the ballot for a public vote.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. initiative. Citizens in Arkansas have the right to use the initiative process to propose and potentially enact new laws without going through the regular legislative process.
