The following excerpt is from Mervyn's v. Reyes, 69 Cal.App.4th 93, 81 Cal.Rptr.2d 148 (Cal. App. 1998):
The reason for the ruling was that by not including the text of the affected ordinance, the petition "failed to provide the electors with the information which they needed in order to exercise intelligently their rights under the referendum law."
