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 6 would amend the California Constitution to prohibit the state from punishing inmates with involuntary work assignments and from disciplining those who refuse to work.
Instead, state prisons could set up a volunteer work assignment program to take time off sentences in the form of credits. It would let county or city ordinances set up a pay scale for inmates in local jails.

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.
