The key ballot measures to watch in 2026
Voters will head to the polls in next year’s midterms to decide on a number of critical ballot measures.
While most of the attention in 2026 will be on the fights for the House, Senate and governor’s mansions, these measures are no less significant.
From reproductive and transgender rights to agriculture, crucial policies will be determined by these initiatives.
Here are some of the key ballot measures to watch next year:
- Abortion (MO, NV, VA, ID)
- Transgender Rights (MO, ME, CO)
- Changes to threshold for passing amendments (ND, SD, UT, CA)
- Agriculture (FL, GA)
- Drugs (ID, NE)
