Economic Conditions and Voting On Ballot Propositions

University of California, Riverside

Todd Donovan

Western Washington University

In this study the authors assess the relationship between economic conditions and results from state ballot proposition elections in California. They propose that voters are less likely to adopt policies in the context of poor economic conditions. Aggregate results demonstrate that adverse economic conditions are associated with greater negative voting on propositions. Models estimated with state and national economic indicators illustrate that voting is conditioned by the state economy more than the national economy.
