CALIFORNIA, USA — On Nov. 5, 2024, Californians will vote on several statewide ballot propositions, each one carrying impacts on laws or taxes across the state.
Proposition 33 would eliminate restrictions on local rent control laws.
Many cities limit the amount a landlord can raise the rent each year — a policy known as rent control. But for nearly 30 years, California has imposed limits on those limits, via a law known as Costa-Hawkins.
If Proposition 33 passes, cities would be allowed to control rents on any type of housing – including single-family homes and new apartments, and for new tenants.

When do we find out who won the election?
Voters in California will start to see results not long after 8 p.m., but these aren't the final results. Every number seen on election night and the days after are unofficial results.
While some elections might be called on election night, that's generally a projection from media outlets, experts or because a candidate conceded. Mail-in ballots, provisional ballots, ballots from registered voters in the military deployed overseas and more all get counted for the final result.
The last day for counties to certify results is Dec. 5. The California Secretary of State will then have until Dec. 7 to certify the vote, with the Statement of Vote certified on Dec. 13.
