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.
Among the big propositions is one reaffirming the right to marriage for same-sex couples, Proposition 3. The right would be enshrined in California's constitution.
The proposition effectively repeals a voter-passed measure from 2008 defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
Ultimately, the ballot measure doesn't change who can marry.

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.
