San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, November 3, 2026 —
Voters across California, including the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose metropolitan area, have been casting their ballots on a slate of 14 state propositions. As results begin to solidify, several key measures have seen definitive outcomes, while others remain too close to call.
Among the propositions that have passed is Proposition 1, a measure focused on housing bonds. Additionally, Proposition 2, which sought to expand the state’s rainy day fund, has also been approved by voters. Another bond measure, Proposition 37, aimed at supporting homebuyer initiatives, has similarly passed.
Conversely, some propositions have failed to gain voter approval. Proposition 39, concerning voter identification requirements, did not pass. Proposition 44, which addressed spending for health clinics, was also rejected by voters.
A significant number of the state’s propositions are still undecided. These pending measures cover a range of critical policy areas, including potential new taxes, campaign financing regulations, environmental review processes, and funding for research initiatives. The final outcomes for these propositions are expected as more ballots are tallied.
