There are no gun-related ballot measures initiated by voters in 2024
No ballot will have a gun-related initiative led by voters this fall.
No ballot will have a gun-related initiative led by voters this fall.
While seven states had tried to get 11 citizen-led firearm referendums on the ballot this year, all of them failed, according to Victoria Rose, who tracks the measures for the elections database Ballotpedia.
Seven of the proposals supported expanding gun rights, including one in Oregon that would have created a right to carry concealed firearms without a permit, Rose said.
Among the four proposed reforms, voters in Washington state wanted to ban assault weapon sales, while voters in California proposed requiring trigger locks on firearms and annual gun license renewals.
None of the 11 proposals had enough signatures to move forward, Rose said, which is not odd. Only six gun initiatives have made it to a vote since 2000, she said.
