Update on this year’s and next year’s ballot measure certifications

For 2024, 57 statewide ballot measures have been certified for the ballot in 25 states, which is one less than the average (58) for this point in the election cycle from 2012 to 2022. The average number of statewide ballot measures certified for an even-numbered year during this period was 157.

Here’s an update on the latest ballot measure activity:

In Florida, the Divison of Elections certified that enough signatures were submitted for two initiatives: Amendment 3 and Amendment 4. This allowed them to receive positions on the ballot. However, the Florida Supreme Court must still decide whether the initiatives meet the state’s single-subject rule, have appropriate ballot language, and are not facially invalid under the U.S. Constitution.
