November Ballot, In Order

Comments Off

Here's the official list, with ballot numbers, of the November 7 ballot, just released by Secretary of State Bruce McPherson:

Proposition 1A: Modification of 2002's transportation funding initiative, Proposition 42.

Proposition 1B-1E: The $37 billion in infrastructure bonds placed on the ballot back in April.

Proposition 83: The so-called "Jessica's Law" initiative requiring, among other things, lifetime GPS devices on sex offenders.

Proposition 84: The $5.4 billion water quality and water supply bond that qualified as a voter-circulated initiative.

Proposition 85: Waiting period and parental notification before a teenage girl can have an abortion, a repeat of 2005's failed Proposition 73.

Proposition 86: Increased $2.60 tax on a pack of cigarettes, with the money going to health and emergency services programs.

Proposition 87: Tax on oil drilled in California, with proceeds to fund alternative energy sources.

Proposition 88: $50 parcel tax, with proceeds going to education.

Proposition 89: Public financing of campaigns and new campaign contribution limits.

Proposition 90: Reform of the use of eminent domain laws.

It's a hefty ballot, but by no means a record number of proposals. McPherson's staff says the biggest ballot in state history was the November 3, 1914 ballot with 48 measures. The largest in modern times: the 29 measures that appeared on the ballot on November 8, 1988.
