Background

Ballotpedia's results tables were a main source for the 2026 ballot measures. On 4 November its unofficial table showed Missouri voters repealing the state's 2025 House map by 61.83% to 38.17%, and its results showed citizen-only voting measures passing in five of six states.

Ballotpedia launched in 2007 and is owned by the Lucy Burns Institute, a non-profit based in Middleton, Wisconsin. It covers federal, state and local US elections and public policy, and is written by paid staff. It counted 164 statewide ballot measures in 40 states in 2026.

Its tallies are unofficial and change as states count; results become final only when each state certifies them.
