PROPOSITION 18 – This ballot measure allows 17-year-old citizens to register to vote, and to cast a ballot if they turn 18 prior to the election itself.  

California Proposition 23, the Dialysis Clinic Requirements Initiative, is on the ballot in California as an initiated state statute on November 3, 2020. The proposition authorizes State regulation of kidney dialysis clinics and establishes minimum staffing requirements.

With fewer than 130 days before the election, we thought it was a good time to do a roundup of the various propositions that will appear on the November ballot. Please note this list is not final.

CALIFORNIA LOCAL RENT CONTROL INITIATIVE (2020) This measure allowed local governments to have rent control, except on (a) housing that was first occupied after 2/2/95 and (b) housing units with distinct titles such as condos, townhouses or single family.

California Criminal Sentencing Parole, and DNA Collection (2020) In the wake of everything that is happening in the United States and California, we CANNOT take our eyes off of the November 3, 2020 election.
