Where the dozen California ballot measures stand so far

California voters faced 12 ballot measures in the general election on a range of issues, from property taxes to the gig economy and cash bail.

They rejected efforts to reinstate affirmative action, end cash bail and let cities adopt local rent control ordinances.

A gig economy measure sponsored by Uber and Lyft won passage. Others, including a proposal to overhaul the state's property tax system, remained close on Wednesday.

Here's where things stand with California's most highprofile initiatives:

Proposition 14

The measure to authorize $5.5 billion in bonds to finance stem cell and other medical research was sitting at 51% in favor, 49% opposed.

The initiative would cost the state $7.8 billion, with an estimated $310 million in annual debt payments over the next two and a half decades, according to a Secretary of State analysis of Proposition 14.

If it passes, Proposition 14 would set aside $1.5 billion for research on diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and medical issues that cause stroke, epilepsy and other conditions.

Proposition 15

Proposition 15 represents the biggest potential change to California tax law since 1978, when voters approved an initiative that restricts property tax increases and sets assessments on purchase price.

Under Proposition 15, commercial and industrial properties worth more than $3 million California would be assessed on current market value, a change that effectively would require large businesses to pay more tax.

The measure was trailing, 52% to 48%.

Proposition 16

California voters rejected Proposition 16, a measure that would have repealed the state's ban on affirmative action policies.

California voters 25 years ago prohibited the consideration of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in university admissions, public employment and contracting. California lawmakers placed Prop. 16 on the ballot, asking voters to reconsider that ban.

The measure failed, as votes showed it behind 56% to 44%.

Proposition 17

This measure would restore the right to vote for parolees. The measure passed, as votes showed it ahead with 59% of the vote.

The Legislature put Proposition 17 on the ballot this summer through Assembly Constitutional Amendment 6.

Proposition 18

Another voting rights initiative, Proposition 18 would let 17-year-olds vote in primaries if they will be 18 by a general election.

Lawmakers also put this initiative on the ballot through Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4. Proposition 18 was struggling, with 55% of votes counted opposing to the measure.

Proposition 19

The proposal would give Californians over 55 a property tax break when they move, so they can keep their lower rates if they want to purchase a smaller home somewhere else in the state. Proposition 19 would also require owners of inherited properties to pay more in taxes.

Proposition 19 was sneaking by, with suppport from 52% of votes recorded.

Proposition 20

Voters rejected Proposition 20, which aimed to increase penalties on certain crimes and revise parole terms and make it harder for someone to be released. The initiative would have rolled back provisions of criminal justice initiatives voters passed in 2014 and 2016, Propositions 47 and 57, that generally reduced criminal penalties.

The measure failed, with 62% of tallied votes rejecting it.

Proposition 21

For the second time in two years, California voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed cities to restrict rent hikes.

Proposition 21 failed, as 60% of votes were going against it. Voters rejected a similar measure in 2018.

Proposition 21 had been struggling for weeks in the polls amid opposition from Realtors, business groups, affordable housing advocates and high-profile figures like Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Proposition 22

Gig economy giants Uber and Lyft spent the last year battling California's law that requires companies to provide employment benefits to more workers. The gig companies and their allies spent more than $200 million on the initiative, outspending opponents almost 10 to 1.

They won easily, with the vote standing at 58% to 42%. The measure lets the companies pay their drivers as independent workers, with some added perks like payment toward health insurance.

Proposition 23

This measure sought to require at least one licensed physician to be at kidney dialysis clinics during treatments. It also would have required clinics to report data on dialysis-related infections and tasked state health officials with approving clinic closures.

Proposition 23 failed, as 64% of voters were rejecting the measure.

Proposition 24

Two years ago, the California Legislature passed an historic data privacy law that hands more control to consumers over what kind of information is collected about them.

This year, the same proponents of that law introduced Proposition 24 to go a step further in the data collection crackdown.

Proposition 24 would hand more agency to consumers over what personal details businesses can use and collect, and would set a timestamp on how long companies can store these data points. It would also impose increased penalties on violations of minors' information.

The measure won, with 56% of tallied votes in favor.

Proposition 25

Voters rejected Proposition 25, a referendum on a 2018 law that sought to end the money bail system that directs many criminal defendants to put up cash as a condition of being released from jail before trial. Proposition 25 emerged after the bail industry challenged the law, putting a referendum on the ballot to contest it.

Proposition 25 failed, as 55% of voters were rejecting it.
