Proposition 43 is a California ballot measure currently scheduled for voting on November 3, 2026. It would raise the threshold for citizen-driven special tax ballot initiatives to pass from a simple majority to two-thirds, making it harder to impose or increase taxes. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the specified ballot measure is approved by a majority of voters at the California statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” If voting on the specified ballot measure does not occur, or the results thereof are not known definitively, by March 31, 2027, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the State of California, including the California Secretary of State (https://www.sos.ca.gov/).California voters face Proposition 43 on the November 3, 2026 ballot, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would require two-thirds approval for citizen-initiated local special taxes starting January 1, 2027, aligning them with government-referred measures and closing the Upland loophole. The measure emerged from a June 2026 compromise after withdrawal of a broader Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association initiative that included retroactive invalidations and transfer-tax caps. Organized opposition from local governments, public employee unions, and revenue advocates highlights risks of reduced funding for services like transportation and housing, while supporters emphasize consistency in voter thresholds. Trader consensus on a narrow "No" edge reflects the competitive dynamics of a tax-restriction ballot measure in a state with strong public-sector influence and historical patterns of close outcomes on similar fiscal propositions.
