Security: Businesses prepare for US elections 2:17
(CNN) -
In addition to who will win the presidency, congressional seats and other political offices, voters across the United States will consider a wide range of questions on the ballot this November 3.
Here are some of the top issues on state ballots:
Abortion
Louisiana Proposed Amendment No. 1
What it would do
: Prevent state courts from declaring state-level abortion restrictions unconstitutional.
advertising
Colorado Proposition 115
What I would do
: Ban abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy.
The measure includes exceptions to save the life of the pregnant woman, but not for cases of rape or incest.
Doctors who continue to perform abortions at 22 weeks could face penalties.
California Proposition 22
California Proposition 22
Uber and Lyft must classify drivers as employees 0:53
What it would do:
Continue to treat transportation and delivery drivers as independent contractors with some concessions of benefits granted by the proposal.
If not approved, those workers would likely be considered employees entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, and paid sick leave.
Marijuana
Arizona Proposition 207
What it would do:
Allow adults 21 and over to possess, consume, or transfer up to one ounce of cannabis and create a regulatory system for the cultivation and sale of the products.
Mississippi Initiative 65
What it would do:
Allow doctors to recommend medical cannabis for patients with any of the 22 qualifying conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Mississippi Initiative 65A
What it would do: Limit medical cannabis use to terminally ill people and leave the future regulatory framework to the legislature.
Montana Initiative 118
What it would do: Amend the state constitution to set 21 as the legal age to buy, possess and use cannabis.
Montana Initiative 190
What it would do: Allow adults in the state to possess, buy and use cannabis for recreational use and defined a 20% tax on recreational cannabis.
It would also allow people serving a sentence for certain cannabis-related acts to request a new sentence or expungement.
Public question no. 1 from New Jersey
What it would do: Amend the state constitution to legalize cannabis for personal, non-medical use by adults 21 and older.
South Dakota Measure 26
What I would do: Establish a medical cannabis program and registration system for people with qualifying conditions.
South Dakota Amendment A
What it would do: Legalize cannabis for all adults and require state legislators to adopt laws on cannabis and medicinal hemp.
Mississippi flag
Measure 3 Mississippi
What it would do:
Pass a new state flag design, after the state Legislature this summer removed its 1894 flag that featured a Confederate battle emblem.
The new design was chosen from 3,000 options and features a magnolia flower surrounded by 20 stars, signifying the state of the state at state number 20. The flag also includes the words "In God We Trust," as required by law.
If the voters decide against the proposed design, the process of choosing a new flag will begin again.
Vote for Puerto Rico statehood
Puerto Rico Ballot Question
What I would do: Record the voters' response to the question: "Should Puerto Rico be immediately admitted to the Union as a State?"
Statehood is ultimately in the hands of the United States Congress.
Redistricting in Virginia
Virginia Question 1
What it would do: Create a redistricting commission, made up of eight members of the General Assembly and eight citizens, responsible for drawing congressional and state legislative districts.
The General Assembly, without the governor, would vote for the districts but could not change them.
The state Supreme Court would draw the districts if the redistricting commission did not do so or the General Assembly did not enact them.
Under the current state Constitution, the General Assembly and the Governor draw new constituencies for the U.S. House of Representatives, State Senate, and House of Delegates.
Other Ballot Questions
Alaska Ballot Measure No. 2 and Massachusetts Question 2 will decide whether to adopt ranked-choice voting for the election.
California's Proposition 16 would restore affirmative action, which was outlawed in the state 24 years ago, by repealing an amendment passed in 1996.
California Proposition 18 will ask if 17-year-olds can vote.
California's Proposition 25 would allow a 2018 law to take effect that ends cash bail.
Mississippi Ballot Measure 2 asks voters whether to remove a Jim Crow-era voting provision that requires a candidate to obtain a majority in the state's popular vote and win the majority of Mississippi's 122 state chamber districts.
Montana's 130th legislative referendum regulates the carrying of concealed firearms.
Rhode Island State Question 1 would remove the phrase "and Providence Plantations" from the state's official name.
