Abortion

See also: Results for abortion-related ballot measures, 2024

Abortion has been a topic for statewide ballot measures since the 1970s. However, in 2022, following Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a then-record number of abortion-related measures were on the ballot, including three from campaigns that described themselves as pro-choice or pro-reproductive rights. In 2023, voters in Ohio approved Issue 1.

On November 5, voters decided on 11 abortion-related ballot measures—the most on record for a single year. Ten addressed state constitutional rights to abortion. Voters approved seven of them in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New York, and Nevada. Voters rejected three in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. One, in Nebraska, limited the timeframe for when an abortion can be performed.

Both Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) commented on the ballot measure trend. Harris said, “Since Roe was overturned, every time reproductive freedom has been on the ballot, the people of America voted for freedom. From Kansas to California to Kentucky, in Michigan, Montana, Vermont, and Ohio, the people of America voted for freedom.” Harris endorsed several of the right-to-abortion ballot initiatives in 2024. Trump said, "But the people of Ohio decided. The people of Kansas decided. The people are now deciding, and it's taken it off the shoulders of the federal government. Always, they wanted it to be decided by the states, and Roe v. Wade didn't do that. It put it into the federal government. So, now, states are voting on it." Trump, a resident of Florida, said he will vote "no" on Florida Amendment 4, which would provide a state constitutional right to abortion.

Citizenship

Bans on noncitizen voting at the state level had become more frequent since 2018. Voters in six states approved ballot measures banning noncitizen voting from 2018 to 2022. In 2024, eight state legislatures referred constitutional amendments to the ballot to prohibit the state or local governments from allowing noncitizen voting. The eight states were Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Voters approved each constitutional amendment.

Jack Tomczak, Vice President of Americans for Citizen Voting, which supported the ballot measures, said, "We, and legislators who sponsor these, are getting ahead of fixing a problem that maybe has not reared its head as much in these states. It’s not like it’s happening everywhere and it must be stopped immediately. But preemption is not a bad thing." Jonathan Diaz, Director of Voting Advocacy for the Campaign Legal Center, said, "These proposed constitutional amendments are aimed really at two things: preventing local governments in those states from allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in local elections, and advancing this false narrative that non-U.S. citizens are somehow participating in U.S. elections in large numbers, which is totally unsupported by any evidence or facts."

As of 2025, municipalities in California, Maryland, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C., allowed noncitizens to vote in some local elections. In November, voters in Santa Ana, California, decided on a ballot measure to allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections.

In 1996, Congress passed legislation making noncitizen voting in federal elections a crime.

Electoral systems

See also: Results for ranked-choice voting (RCV) and electoral system ballot measures, 2024

The ballot initiative has played a prominent role in proposing changes to state and local electoral systems across the United States. In 2024, voters decided on a record number of statewide ballot measures on ranked-choice voting (RCV), all of which were rejected. In Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon, voters rejected measures to adopt RCV. In Alaska, voters decided on an initiative to repeal RCV, which was adopted in 2020. Voters in Washington, D.C., approved a ranked-choice voting initiative. In Missouri, voters approved a constitutional amendment that would preempt RCV.

There were other electoral system changes on the ballot, some of which could have led to the adoption of RCV. In Arizona, Proposition 140 would have replaced partisan primaries with primaries in which candidates, regardless of partisan affiliation, appear on a single ballot and a certain number advance to the general election, such as top-two or top-four primaries. Arizona Proposition 133, on the other hand, would have prohibited systems like top-two and top-four primaries, meaning Proposition 133 and Proposition 140 were competing measures. Both were rejected. In Montana, voters rejected two electoral system measures, one to adopt top-four primaries and another to require a majoritarian vote system for general elections, such as run-off elections or RCV.

In South Dakota, voters defeated Amendment H, which would have replaced partisan primaries with top-two primaries.

Criminal justice

In 2024, voters in three states—Arizona, California, and Colorado—decided on ballot measures related to criminal justice, law enforcement, and police funding.

In Arizona, there were two ballot measures related to criminal justice. Both were approved. Proposition 313 required that anyone convicted of child sex trafficking must receive a sentence of life imprisonment. Proposition 314 made several changes to criminal and immigration law, including allowing police to arrest noncitizens who enter Arizona from foreign countries at locations other than official ports, allowing state judges to order deportations, and providing for a new felony offense, called sale of lethal fentanyl, among other provisions.

In California, voters approved Proposition 36, which increased penalties for certain drug crimes and theft convictions. Proposition 36 made changes to 2014's Proposition 47. The effect of Proposition 47 on criminal activities in succeeding years was a topic of debate in California.

Coloradans approved three ballot measures related to criminal justice and police funding. Amendment I removed the right to bail in cases of first-degree murder when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Proposition 128 required that persons convicted of certain violent crimes serve more of their sentences before being eligible for parole. Proposition 130 allocated state revenue to a new fund for law enforcement recruitment, retention, training, and death benefits.

Wages

See also: Results for minimum wage and labor-related ballot measures, 2024

Between 1996 and 2022, there were 28 ballot measures to increase a state's minimum wage. Voters approved 26 of these initiatives (92.86%) and rejected two (7.14%). Before 2024, the last time voters rejected a minimum wage increase was in 1996, when measures were defeated in Missouri and Montana.

In 2024, voters in Alaska, California, Massachusetts, and Missouri decided on minimum wage initiatives. In Alaska and Missouri, the initiatives proposed raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, along with enacting paid sick leave requirements. In California, voters rejected an initiative to raise the state's minimum wage to $18 per hour. In Massachusetts, voters defeated a ballot measure to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers to match the general minimum wage. Voters in Nebraska approved an initiative to require paid sick leave for employees.

In Arizona, voters rejected Proposition 138, which would have allowed for tipped workers to be paid 25% less per hour than the minimum wage. The existing law allowed tipped workers to be paid $3 less than the minimum wage. In 2024, the state's minimum wage was $14.35, meaning tipped workers could earn $11.35 per hour, provided their tips bring them up to at least the minimum wage. Under Proposition 138, tipped workers could have been paid 25% less, which would have been, using the minimum wage in 2024, $10.77 per hour, as long as their combined wage and tips total at least $2 above the minimum wage.

Drug use policy

See also: Results for marijuana and psychedelics ballot measures, 2024

Heading into November, marijuana was legal in 24 states and D.C. Of those 24 states, 13 and D.C. had legalized marijuana through the ballot measure process. In 2024, three more states rejected marijuana legalization ballot measures: Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Voters in North Dakota and South Dakota decided on legalization initiatives for the third time, after previous defeats or, in South Dakota, one initiative overturned in court.

In Florida, voters rejected a legalization initiative, Amendment 3. The ballot measure was one of the most expensive campaigns in 2024 and, between supporters and opponents, the most expensive marijuana-related ballot measure election on record.

Voters in Nebraska approved two ballot measures related to legalizing and regulating the medical use of marijuana in the state.

In Massachusetts, voters rejected Question 4, which would have legalized natural psychedelic substances, including psilocybin. Massachusetts was the first state to reject a psychedelics ballot measure after voters in Oregon (2020) and Colorado (2022) approved earlier measures.

State	Type	Title	Description	Result	Yes Votes	No Votes

SD	CISS	Initiated Measure 29	Legalize the recreational or personal use of marijuana		189,916 (44%)	237,228 (56%)

Other topics

There were also several smaller trends, each involving three measures, including changes to the ballot initiative process, same-sex marriage, and school choice, defined as programs that provide government funding for private education or homeschooling.

• Initiatives: Voters rejected the ballot measures to change initiative processes. In Arizona, Proposition 134 would have introduced a signature distribution requirement for ballot initiatives based on legislative districts, and Proposition 136 would have provided that lawsuits challenging whether a voter-initiated ballot measure is constitutional could be filed before the election. In North Dakota, Measure 2 would have established a single-subject rule for initiatives, increased the signature requirement for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments, and required that voters approve citizen-initiated constitutional amendments twice.

• Same-sex marriage: Voters in California, Colorado, and Hawaii approved constitutional amendments to repeal bans or limits on same-sex marriage. Following Obergefell v. Hodges, these constitutional bans became ineffective, but, as of 2024, most remained in state constitutions.

• School choice: Voters rejected the three ballot measures related to school choice. Colorado Amendment 80 would have provided in the state constitution that "each K-12 child has the right to school choice." Kentucky Amendment 2 would have allowed the legislature to provide state funding to students outside of public schools. In Nebraska, a veto referendum overturned a bill to authorize a program to provide public funds to eligible students to attend private schools.

Certified to the legislature

Certified to the legislature refers to indirect ballot initiatives that have had their signatures verified and are now being considered by the state legislature. After signatures are verified, the measure is presented to the state legislature. Lawmakers can choose to enact the measure into law. If the legislature rejects it or takes no action, the measure qualifies for the ballot or requires a second round of signatures, depending on the state.

Signatures submitted

Signatures submitted refers to citizen-initiated ballot measures for which supporters have turned in petition signatures but are awaiting verification to determine whether the measure qualifies for the ballot.

Approved for signature gathering

Approved for signature gathering refers to citizen-initiated ballot measures that election officials have authorized to begin collecting signatures.

Proposed

A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.

Legislators introduce more than 1,000 proposed legislative referrals, most of which are constitutional amendments, each year. Pages are created once a legislative referral reaches the halfway point in the certification process. Depending on the state’s rules, this occurs either when the measure passes one legislative chamber or when the measure is approved during one legislative session.
