You’ve got presidential candidates and contenders vying for Congress. Then there are those running for local council seats or school board.
But aside from the people on your ballot, there are also measures, or “propositions” as they’re listed. These propositions give voters the direct ability to weigh in on changes to California’s constitution, from repealing old laws to enacting new ones.
There are 10 statewide propositions on the ballot this year, ranging in issues from education funding to marriage equality, minimum wage increases to public safety.
Keep in mind: These are statewide propositions, meaning they will appear on every California voter’s ballot. You may have additional local measures before you this year.
Here is a list of all the propositions that have qualified for the 2024 ballot. Click on each one to read a brief explainer of what voters are being asked — and who is behind them.
