Prop 2 – Cautious Optimism
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Thank you to all of our CCFC members for your hard work to pass Proposition 2. As of 3:53 a.m. on November 6, 2024, Prop 2 was leading with 1.2 million more “Yes” votes than “No” votes, out of about 9.2 million votes counted and reported (5.2 million “Yes” and 4.0 million “No”). The ratio at this time was 56.9% “Yes” to 43.1% “No” votes. Prop 2 needs 50% plus one vote to pass.
Prop 2 was winning in both the early absentee ballot count as well as the Election Day vote count. It was winning in 37 counties, including Orange County, which is usually very challenging for state school bonds. While there are millions of ballots still to be counted, we expect this positive trend to continue, with Prop 2 well positioned for success.
As always, California’s process to count and certify votes can take a lot of time. We will provide additional information as we know more.
We want to thank our coalition partners, including the Coalition for Adequate School Housing, the California Teachers Association, the California Building Industry Association, and the Community College League of California for helping to get Prop 2 to where it is now.
