California 1960 ballot propositions

1962 →

← 1958

Eighteen statewide ballot propositions were on the 1960 ballot in California.

1960 was the first year that votes on California's ballot propositions took place in the state's June primary as well as during the November general election. In 2011, the practice of having ballot propositions on primary election ballots was eliminated when Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 202.
