Californians Will Decide on Minimum Wage, Rent Control, Forced Labor, and More in November

Three of the initiatives are constitutional amendments, such as one that removes the rule saying California recognizes only male-female marriages.

California voters will decide on 10 ballot measures in November, addressing a wide range of issues including the minimum wage, rent control, public safety, taxes, education, and health care.

Each of the initiatives—including three state constitutional amendments and two multibillion-dollar bonds—will need approval from at least 50 percent of voters to pass.

State Constitutional Amendments

Prop. 3: Marriage Equality (ACA 5)

The California Constitution currently states that only marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in the state, but federal law prevents the enforcement of this provision.
