ballot measure

A ballot measure is a proposed law or amendment that voters can approve or reject during an election. It typically appears on the ballot alongside candidates for office. Ballot measures can address various issues, such as tax changes, environmental regulations, or social policies. Voters have the opportunity to express their views directly on these issues by voting “yes” or “no.” If a majority supports the measure, it becomes law. Ballot measures empower citizens to influence legislation and participate actively in the democratic process.
