California 1966 ballot propositions

1968 →

← 1964

18 statewide ballot propositions were on the 1966 ballot in California.

The direct democracy process in California enabled the use of the indirect initiated state statute process from 1911 through 1966. California voters approved Proposition 1A in 1966, which ended that particular version of direct democracy in California.
