Prop 43 Makes Tax Votes Harder | San Jose News

Proposition 43 is a bold, late-ballot tax measure aiming to make it harder for California to raise local taxes—requiring a two-thirds voter supermajority for any new or increased special taxes. A direct counter to the 2024 Proposition 5, which lowered tax approval thresholds, this compromise-backed initiative is championed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. If passed, it’ll take effect in 2027, forcing future tax proposals to meet a much higher bar—putting more power in voters’ hands and ensuring tax hikes won’t pass with mere majority support.
