California's 2024 Ballot Measures: Key Outcomes and Implications

California voters decided on 10 state propositions, with five measures passing, including those on criminal penalties, same-sex marriage, Medi-Cal funding, climate projects, and school repairs. Proposition 36, toughening criminal penalties, and Proposition 3, protecting same-sex marriage rights, were among the successful measures. Proposition 33, which aimed to expand rent control, failed. Other propositions, like those on affordable housing and involuntary servitude, remain undecided. Voter concerns about inflation and cost of living influenced the outcomes, particularly on minimum wage and rent control measures.
