2024 Ballot Initiatives
Slavery is legal in California.
Proposition 6 will amend the CA constitution to abolish slavery with NO exceptions.
What's the situation?
California's constitution currently prohibits slavery, but allows involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. The problem is, involuntary servitude IS slavery. Learn more at www.voteyesoncaprop6.com.
Why do I care?
The impact of slavery abolition is uncertain, but the reasons to do so are powerful. Slavery and involuntary servitude are human rights abuses. Any exception to slavery abolition allows human rights to be ignored and people to be exploited inhumanely. Abolishing slavery aligns our legal system with our moral standards.

Slavery is legal in Nevada.
Question 4 will amend the NV constitution to abolish slavery with NO exceptions.
What's the situation?
Nevada's constitution did not fully abolish slavery. The state's constitution allows slavery to continue as punishment for a crime.
Why do I care?
The impact of slavery abolition is uncertain, but the reasons to do so are powerful. Slavery and involuntary servitude are human rights abuses. Any exception to slavery abolition allows human rights to be ignored and people to be exploited inhumanely. Abolishing slavery aligns our legal system with our moral standards.
What's been done?
In 2021, Assemblymember Howard Watts introduced a bill to remove the exception clause from the Nevada constitution & abolish slavery with no exceptions. This bill, Assembly Joint Resolution 10, passed the Senate and the House unanimously.
Constitutional amendments in Nevada must pass the legislature twice before going to a public vote. So in 2023, Assemblymember Watts re-introduced AJR 10, and it again passed both houses unanimously. This put AJR10 as Question 4 on the next general election ballot.
