As of September 11, 2024, 10 states have certified a referendum on abortion for the 2024 United States elections. This is the most for a single election cycle on record.[1] Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, every single pro-abortion rights ballot measure has passed, even in very conservative states such as Kansas.[2]
