US voters decide 145 ballot measures on abortion, voter ID, and election rules

Voters across several U.S. states are deciding on 145 proposed laws and constitutional amendments during the midterm elections, covering major issues like abortion, voter ID, and election rules. Abortion rights are a central focus, with Missouri voters considering a repeal of their 2024 abortion rights amendment, while states like Idaho and Nevada consider protections for abortion before fetal viability. Several ballot measures test Donald Trump's political priorities, including attempts to restrict transgender athletes in school sports and adjust congressional redistricting plans. Proposed measures in states including California, Colorado, and Nevada seek to implement stricter voter identification requirements for casting ballots. Additional state proposals address voting qualifications for noncitizens, higher thresholds for constitutional amendments, and restrictions on local traffic enforcement cameras.
