Proposition 36 would reclassify some drug possession crimes and theft as felonies, allowing for tougher penalties that supporters argue are necessary to address ongoing crime issues.
Voters in California face 10 ballot measures, including proposals to toughen sentencing for drug crimes and raise the state's minimum wage, reflecting complex issues voters must navigate.
Opponents of Proposition 36, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and criminal justice reform advocates, argue that the measure would waste public resources by increasing incarceration rates.
The upcoming ballot measures embody a mixture of straightforward questions and complex issues that could perplex even seasoned voters in California's direct democratic process.
