The Initiative and Referendum Institute covers this comprehensively -- here's a fall 2014 report:
http://www.iandrinstitute.org/BW%202014-1%20Preview%20(v0)%202014--09-07.pdf

It reports 146 propositions in 41 states, including 33 initiatives and 4 referendums.

The South Carolina independence referendum of course will draw a big turnout...... Oh, I'm being told that all secession votes are off the table, unlike the recent vote in Scotland or your fine province's vote back in 1995.

Hi,
I am currently working on state referendums that will happen during the midterm elections coming up in November. I can’t seem to find a lot of information on them so I wanted to ask you if you would know where the process is up to at this moment. Are they still subject to petitions from popular initiatives or are the ballots already printed?
Would you be kind enough to lead me to referendum questions or to a source that would help me figure out at what current stage this process is?
Thank you in advance and with great consideration,
