    Fail: 4,949,543 / 40.6% Yes votes ...... 7,251,443 / 59.4% No votes
    Repeals state law that currently restricts the scope of rent-control policies that cities and other local jurisdictions may impose on residential property. Fiscal Impact: Potential net reduction in state and local revenues of tens of millions of dollars per year in the long term. Depending on actions by local communities, revenue losses could be less or considerably more.

    Pass: 7,181,116 / 59.6% Yes votes ...... 4,861,831 / 40.4% No votes

    Pass: 7,551,434 / 62.7% Yes votes ...... 4,499,702 / 37.3% No votes
