Voters across dozens of states decided 146 statewide ballot measures during the midterm elections, weighing in on high-profile policy issues including abortion access, LGBTQ rights, gun regulations, wealth taxes, and redistricting.
The ballot questions offered electorates direct paths to shape state laws and constitutional amendments outside the traditional legislative process. The wide-ranging slate of initiatives gave citizens a direct voice on polarizing social and economic policy debates unfolding nationwide.
