California Voter Guides, November 3, 2026

California's November 3 ballot has 14 statewide measures. Start with the official voter guide. Then read a guide from an organization you resonate with and another from one that sees it differently, and follow the money on both sides.

Every guide here links to the organization's own page, and the quotes are the organizations' own words. A listing is not an endorsement, and Vote With Love™ takes no position on any measure. Guides are listed alphabetically within each section. Last checked November 1, 2026. Pages change, so check the date on each one.
