In the Nov. 8 General Election, out of about 22 million registered California voters, nearly 4.2 million—or 19 percent—cast ballots, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s office.
Here are the updated results as of 5:30 p.m. Nov. 11.

Proposition 1: Abortion

The proposition would change the California Constitution to say the state cannot deny or interfere with a person’s decision whether to have an abortion and whether to use contraceptives.
The measure was winning 65.3 percent to 34.7 percent.

Proposition 26: In-Person Sports Betting

The proposition would allow adults to participate in in-person sports betting at tribal casinos and racetracks under state regulations. It would require such businesses to pay the state a share of bets made and shoulder the cost of regulating betting activities.
The measure was losing 30.3 percent to 69.7 percent.

Proposition 27: Online Sports Betting

The proposition would allow licensed tribes and gambling companies to offer online sports betting. Revenues would go to state regulatory costs for betting activities, homelessness prevention, and tribal economic development.
The measure was losing 16.6 percent to 83.4 percent.

Proposition 28: K–12 Arts, Music Education

The proposition would require the state to provide additional funding for arts and music programs in all K–12 public schools, including charter schools. Funds equal to one percent of the state and local funding that public schools received the year before would be directed toward classes including dance, media arts, music, theater, and photography.
The measure was winning 62 percent to 38 percent.

Proposition 29: Dialysis Clinics

The proposition would enact requirements for chronic dialysis clinics, including requiring a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant on-site during all treatment hours. It would also require clinics to report dialysis-related infections to the California Department of Public Health and mandate clinics inform both patients and the state’s health department of the clinic’s owners, and more.
The measure was losing 30.1 percent to 69.9 percent.

Proposition 30: Tax to Fund Electric Vehicles, Wildfire Response

The proposition will require individuals with an annual income above $2 million to pay an extra 1.75 percent tax on the share of their income above the threshold, starting January 2023. The revenue will be used to fund zero-emission vehicle programs and wildfire response and prevention.
The measure was losing 40.9 percent to 59.1 percent.

Proposition 31: Flavored Tobacco Products

Proposition 31 is a referendum on a 2020 state law that would ban in-person retail and vending machines from selling most flavored tobacco products or tobacco product flavor enhancers. If passed, sellers would be fined $250 for each violation.

The measure was winning 62.6 percent to 37.4 percent.
