California ballot propositions

California ballot propositions are specific policy changes or amendments to state laws that voters can approve or reject during elections. These propositions often originate from citizens or the state legislature and are numbered for identification. When you vote, you decide whether to support or oppose each proposition based on its description, which usually appears on the ballot. Successful propositions become law, impacting various issues such as education, taxation, healthcare, and more. They are a direct way for Californians to influence government decisions and state policies.
