Elections aren’t just about hiring lawmakers to write the laws that govern our state. Sometimes, you the voter, are asked to set some rules yourself. Some ballot measures will invite you to weigh in on the most consequential and controversial issues of the day. The death penalty, marriage equality, marijuana legalization, and basic questions of who should pay for the price of government have all been decided by voters in past elections.
This November, affordable housing funding, the price of gas, and rent control will all be on the ballot. And then sometimes the issues at hand are a little more…esoteric. How should paramedics spend their break time? Should state lawmakers be given the opportunity to nix daylight saving time? How much profit should dialysis clinics be able to make? What even is a dialysis clinic and why are you being asked to weigh in on its bottom line?
Find the answers to these question, and any others you might have about this year’s handful of ballot propositions, by checking out our pages on each proposition.

What is the difference between a proposition and initiative? A proposition is a blanket term for any ballot measure to be voted on by the people – this can be an initiative or a referendum. An initiative is a brand new law or constitutional amendment proposed and voted by the people. It is a law started by the people. In California, there is a direct initiative process, where a petition that receives the required number of signatures automatically qualifies to be put on the ballot.
