The November 2026 Ballot

What each measure on your November 3 ballot does, and who is paying for it

This guide covers the November 3, 2026 ballot, starting with San Diego County measures, then San Diego Unified, then state propositions. No City of San Diego November measure was identified in the inventory. Funder figures show the largest captured donor aggregate in a listed committee, rather than a combined net total across committees; shared committee money is identified in each full measure explainer.
