California 1958 ballot propositions

1960 →

← 1956

18 statewide ballot propositions were on the November 4, 1958 ballot in California.

Up through 1958, votes on California's ballot propositions only took place in November elections. Starting in 1960, votes on statewide ballot propositions also were scheduled during the state's June primaries. In 2011, the practice of having ballot propositions on primary election ballots was eliminated when Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 202.
