We will briefly discuss how a proposition gets on the ballot—it is astonishingly easy—and then discuss the propositions that will appear on the Nov. 2022 ballot. We will also evaluate the impact of the various reforms to the state election system that have been implemented in the last two decades: the top-two primary election system and reapportionment reform. We will look at potential reforms of the recall process that have been discussed since the failed recall of Gov. Newsom in 2021 and the controversial impacts of past voterapproved initiatives. The issues in this election are broad, ranging from sports betting on tribal lands and online to K–12 art and music education funding, dialysis clinic requirements, a tax to fund zero-emission vehicle use, and the ban on flavored tobacco products, as well as a constitutional amendment on reproductive choice.
