From Election Integrity to Wealth Taxes, Voters to Decide Key Ballot Measures

About 145 ballot measures could reshape abortion, taxes and election rules, with California’s billionaire tax and Missouri’s abortion fight among the most watched.

  • On November 3, millions of Americans in 39 states will decide on roughly 150 ballot measures spanning election laws, taxes, abortion rights, and transgender access alongside congressional races.
  • Election security measures appear in six states, including Arizona and Nevada, where voters will decide whether to amend state constitutions to require government-issued identification for all in-person or mail-in ballots.
  • Abortion access remains a key topic, with Missouri voters considering whether to repeal a constitutional amendment passed in 2024, while Idaho and Virginia voters will decide on measures establishing access protections.
  • Five states, including Washington and Colorado, will vote on initiatives restricting transgender girls from school sports or limiting gender-affirming care, shaping rights for transgender residents.
  • California's Proposition 40, proposed as a 'billionaire tax,' would enact a 5% wealth tax on assets exceeding $1 billion to fund state healthcare, education, and food assistance programs.
