Here's a recap of each amendment that was on Floridian ballots, whether they passed or failed and what weed and abortion laws are like in Florida.
Floridians rejected the proposal to enshrine abortion into the state Constitution after they learned it would open the floodgates for taxpayer-funded abortion "at any time" and "for any reason," one pro-life advocate said.
Florida’s voters were asked whether the state’s constitution should say that “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”
The Florida Senate race was a highlight on the 2024 ballot, and Amendment 4 on abortion rights has drawn national attention.
More than 6 million Florida voters, representing 57% of the vote, cast their ballot in favor of Amendment 4 on Election Day Tuesday. Yet, the abortion measure failed to pass despite 1.5 million more Floridians voting "yes" on the amendment rather than "no."
Former President Donald Trump easily won Florida, once a swing state, for a third consecutive time on Tuesday night.
Amendment 3 was not backed by at least 60% of Florida voters, meaning that recreational marijuana use will remain illegal in the state.
Trump voted in Florida, where it is legal to wear campaign apparel at the polls. Solicitation of voters is not allowed.
With 99 percent of votes tabulated, here's how Florida voters felt about six proposed amendments on the ballot.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. Voters will be faced with 6 constitutional amendment proposals on the ballot.
A strong across-the-board showing by Donald Trump helped propel the Republican former president to victory in Florida, once a preeminent swing state that has increasingly slipped out of Democrats’ grasp.
The defeat is a political victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, who had become the face of a well-funded opposition campaign.
