2022 abortion-related ballot measures

In 2022, there will be at least five ballot measures addressing abortion — the most on record for a single year. Measures have been certified for the ballot in California, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, and Vermont.

Information on abortion-related ballot measures since 1970 is available here: History of abortion ballot measures.

HIGHLIGHTS

• In 2022, there will be at least four ballot measures addressing abortion — the most on record.

• Voters in California and Vermont will be the first to decide ballot measures to establish state constitutional rights to abortion. Votes on these ballot measures follow Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which held that the U.S. Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. These measures are also the first abortion-related ballot measures since 1992 to have the support of organizations that describe themselves as pro-choice/pro-reproductive rights.

• Voters in Kansas rejected a measure to provide that the state constitution cannot be interpreted to establish a state constitutional right to abortion. On November 8, voters in Kentucky will decide on a similar amendment. These types of amendments are designed to address previous and future state court rulings on abortion that have prevented or could prevent legislatures from passing certain abortion laws.
