** California voters approved Proposition 43 22 years ago
------------------------------------------------------------
On March 5, 2002, voters approved California Proposition 43 ([link removed] , a constitutional amendment that provided "a voter who casts a vote in an election in accordance with the laws of this state shall have that vote counted." The vote was 3,391,678 (71.51%) to 1,351,179 (28.49%).
Our coverage of this measure is part of Ballotpedia's Historic Ballot Measures project (HBM), which will document nearly 200 years of direct democracy in the U.S. This ongoing research effort will provide an unparalleled resource for researchers, reporters, and the voting public on how ballot measures have evolved, the issues they've covered, and the role they have played in our civic life.
