On November 5, California voters will be asked whether they support raising the minimum wage, stiffening penalties for certain crimes, banning forced prison labor and expanding rent control. The 10 questions were proposed by citizens and parliament as part of the state’s direct democracy process. We are tracking the results.

Some of the measures would be amendments to the California Constitution, such that a “yes” vote on Proposition 3 would codify the right to same-sex marriage, while a “yes” vote on Prop. 6 would create involuntary servitude and mandates for state prisoners. Work is prohibited. Other measures would allow states to borrow billions of dollars to modernize K-12 schools and community colleges (Proposition 2) and fund responses to wildfires and other climate-related disasters. is accepted (proposal 4).

A “yes” vote on Proposition 33 would give cities and counties more power to enact rent regulations. Opponents have raised more than $125 million to defeat the initiative, far more than any other campaign for or against a ballot measure.

If Prop. 5 is approved, local housing-related bond measures, such as funding low-income housing, expanding roads and transit, renovating parks, and building other public infrastructure projects, would only require 55% support. It was passed and will come into effect immediately. For local bond measures currently on the ballot, such as the Pasadena PL and the Redondo Beach FP, the current two-thirds threshold will be lowered.
