Proposition 43 is a California ballot measure currently scheduled for voting on November 3, 2026. It would raise the threshold for citizen-driven special tax ballot initiatives to pass from a simple majority to two-thirds, making it harder to impose or increase taxes. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the specified ballot measure is approved by a majority of voters at the California statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” If voting on the specified ballot measure does not occur, or the results thereof are not known definitively, by March 31, 2027, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the State of California, including the California Secretary of State (https://www.sos.ca.gov/).**Proposition 43 would amend the California Constitution to require a two-thirds voter approval threshold for citizen-initiated local special taxes starting January 1, 2027, aligning them with the existing rule for government-placed measures while leaving current taxes unaffected.** A June 2026 legislative compromise withdrew a more restrictive citizen initiative from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association that included retroactive invalidation of prior taxes and limits on charter-city real estate transfer taxes such as Los Angeles’ Measure ULA. In its place, lawmakers referred this narrower constitutional amendment to the November 3, 2026 ballot. Trader pricing favoring rejection at 58.5% reflects the measure’s focus on tightening initiative rules amid ongoing local revenue needs, historical patterns of voter-approved local taxes, and organized opposition emphasizing impacts on public services. No major new developments have shifted positioning since the compromise.
