Ballot Measure Threshold

A "yes" vote supports requiring citizen-initiated ballot measures to receive at least 60% voter approval to make certain tax-related changes, including (a) imposing a new tax; (b) expanding an existing tax to apply to additional items or transactions; (c) increasing an existing tax rate; or (d) adjusting a property tax rate in a way that reduces the rate less than it would decrease under current law.

A "no" vote opposes requiring citizen-initiated ballot measures to receive at least 60% voter approval to make certain tax-related changes, thus maintaining that such initiatives need only a simple majority requirement (50% plus one vote) to pass.
