------------------------------------------------------------

Ballotpedia's Historical Ballot Measure Factbook will document nearly 200 years of direct democracy in the United States. This ongoing research effort will provide an unparalleled resource for researchers, reporters, and the public on how ballot measures have evolved, the issues they have covered, and their role in our civic life.
We introduced this project last summer when we featured Texas’ historical ballot measures. In Wednesday’s Brew, we looked at historical ballot measures in Wisconsin.
Our comprehensive inventory of all Wisconsin ballot measures spans from 1846 – the year voters approved Question 1 to form the state government – to 2024.
In that time, Wisconsinites decided on 257 ballot measures, approving 184 and defeating 73, an approval rate of about 71.6%.

The primary filing deadline is April 3.
City & State New York's Annie McDonough wrote, "The 2025 mayoral race will be one of the first tests for how New York Democrats confront a rightward shift in a reliably blue city."

** Redo election scheduled for California’s Coachella Valley Unified School District
------------------------------------------------------------
Voters in California’s Coachella Valley Unified School District – which spans both Riverside and Imperial counties–will cast ballots in a court-ordered redo election for three of the district’s seven school board seats on March 5.
The seats were originally up for election on Nov. 5, 2024, but due to a clerical error, the races were omitted from roughly 2,400 ballots in Imperial County. As a result, the school district and Imperial County asked Riverside County Superior Court judge Chad Firetag for a temporary restraining order preventing Riverside County from reporting the election results.
