In 2022, there will be at least four ballot measures addressing abortion — the most since 1986. Measures have been certified for the ballot in Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, and Vermont. Should one more abortion-related measure make the ballot, 2022 will break that record.
Information on abortion-related ballot measures since 1970 is available here: History of abortion ballot measures.
HIGHLIGHTS
- In 2022, there will be at least four ballot measures addressing abortion — the most since 1986. Should one more abortion-related measure make the ballot, 2022 will break the record.
- Vermont Question 5 is the first ballot measure to propose creating a state constitutional right to personal reproductive autonomy, and the first abortion-related ballot measure to since 1992 to have the support of organizations described as pro-choice/pro-reproductive rights.
