Directs revenues to regulatory costs, homelessness programs, nonparticipating tribes.

Some revenues would support state regulatory costs, possibly reaching the mid-tens of millions of dollars annually.

    Pass: 6,924,618 / 64.4% Yes votes ...... 3,827,971 / 35.6% No votes

    Pass: 6,803,431 / 63.4% Yes votes ...... 3,923,385 / 36.6% No votes

    Measure M Ranked Choice Voting -- City of Ojai (Majority Approval Required)
    Pass: 1909 / 55.8% Yes votes ...... 1510 / 44.1% No votes
    Shall the voters authorize, at the discretion of the City Council, the use of ranked choice voting, also known as instant runoff voting and allowing voters to rank candidates for elected office in order of preference, to elect City offices at-large, thereby amending the Ojai Municipal Code to no longer elect City Council members by district, if the City Council implements it starting with the November 2024 general election?
