Analysed 29 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Arizona, United States·Politics
US Voters to Decide on Key Ballot Measures in 2026 Midterm ElectionsPreviousNext

Ahead of the November 2026 US midterm elections, voters in over three dozen states will decide on approximately 150 ballot measures addressing issues such as transgender sports participation, abortion access, voter identification, and a proposed billionaire tax. These measures could significantly impact state policies on healthcare, education, and elections, with some states considering constitutional amendments. Polls and betting markets show varied support levels, reflecting the complexity and local significance of these referendums alongside congressional races.
