Top ballot issues to watch that could sway 2024 election

Abortion, marijuana, and noncitizen voting ballot measures are among the top initiatives voters will decide on at the ballot boxes, with competitive congressional races and a contentious presidential election in states like Arizona, Florida, and Nebraska on the line.

For the 2024 election, 41 states have at least one ballot measure, with the highest-profile issue being abortion. Ten states have abortion-rights measures up for decision, with a handful being red or purple states that have competitive races, and Nebraska has an anti-abortion measure.
