## What we cover[edit]

In 2019, Ballotpedia covered local measures that appear on the ballot for voters within the top 100 largest cities in the U.S. Ballotpedia also covered all local measures in North Carolina, all local measures in California, and all statewide ballot measures.

HIGHLIGHTS

* On November 5, New York City voters approved five ballot questions comprised of 19 proposals, including a proposal to establish a ranked-choice voting (RCV) system for all city primary and special elections. With the approval of Question 1, New York City became the most populous jurisdiction in the U.S. to use RCV.

* Voters in San Francisco decided on five ballot measures in November, including Proposition C, which concerned the regulation of e-cigarettes, and Proposition F, which concerned campaign contributions and advertising disclaimers. Voters rejected Proposition C and approved Proposition F.

* In November, Tucson voters rejected Proposition 205, a citizen-initiative proposing to declare Tucson a sanctuary city.

* Albuquerque would have become the second city (after Seattle) to adopt government-disbursed vouchers, known as democracy dollars, that voters could contribute to candidates if Proposition 2 had been approved; it was defeated by 51% to 49%.

* On August 27, Phoenix, Arizona, voters rejected Proposition 106, an initiative concerning pension debt and the city's budget growth. Phoenix voters also defeated Proposition 105, an initiative to end funding for light rail expansion and direct funds to other transportation infrastructure.

* On May 7, voters in Denver, Colorado, approved a first-of-its-kind citizen initiative designed to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms.
