🗳️California’s 2026 Ballot Propositions: Let’s Break Them Down!

Election Day is November 3, 2026, and California voters have several statewide propositions to consider! But what exactly do these measures propose, and what does voting YES or NO mean?

We’ve put together a voter education guide to help break down the propositions, explain what they would change, and outline what each vote means.

👉 Swipe through to explore California’s ballot propositions!

📅 IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:
* October 5: Mail-in ballots begin going out.
* October 19: Online voter registration deadline.
* November 3: Election Day! Polls close at 8 PM.

📖 Want to learn more? Check out the California Secretary of State’s Official Voter Information Guide for additional information about the ballot measures:

💬 Have questions about any of the propositions? Drop them in the comments!

📌 Save this post for later and share it with someone who wants to learn more about what’s on the ballot!

This post is intended for voter education and does not endorse a YES or NO vote on any proposition.
