What could move it
- Ballot qualification by the deadline—the proposition must clear signature and legal thresholds to reach the November 2026 ballot.
- Campaign momentum and polling closer to the election—organized support or opposition could shift odds substantially before voters decide.
- Changes to the proposal's design or scope—modifications to the tax structure could affect market expectations of passage.
