The Bell Policy Center’s 2024 ballot guide is here!

The statewide questions on the November ballot are varied and important, ranging from expanding the homestead exemption for disabled veterans to putting abortion rights in the state constitution.

This ballot guide is the result of research and analysis by the staff at the Bell Policy Center, who have examined history and context to provide you clear arguments in favor and against each of the 14 questions on the ballot. For the nine measures that impact the values the Bell has identified for this ballot guide, we’ve provided recommended votes. For the remainder, we have offered facts, analysis, and pros and cons, but did not take a position.

For each measure we’re analyzing this year, you’ll see there are three values the proposals are scored on: tax fairness, racial equity, and economic mobility. We chose these three as all are closely aligned with the Bell’s work and our organizational mission. Each value receives a rating (very bad, bad, slightly bad, neutral, slightly good, good, very good) based on how the ballot measure in question will affect these values.

We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to seeking out ballot guidance, and we’re honored that you’re here. Sign up for our emails to get the latest from the Bell Policy Center.
