Database Notes
Filter ballot measures by year, state, topic, type of measure, status, election or keyword.
Ballot measures with multiple topics appear multiple times in the list. The number in the upper-right corner of the first page and all numbers on the second page reflect the total number of ballot measures within the selected filters. Those numbers are accurate totals, with individual ballot measures counted only once. Duplicated measures are not double counted.
When filtering by statutory or constitutional amendment, check the box labeled "Statutory, Amendment" in addition to the box for "Statutory" or "Amendment." Some ballot measures make statutory and constitutional changes. Checking the "Statutory, Amendment" box will ensure those measures are captured in the total.
