Measures to increase the minimum wage, enact paid sick leave requirements, or both were on the ballot in Alaska, California, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Nebraska. Voters approved the ballot initiatives in Alaska, Missouri, and Nebraska. In California and Massachusetts, voters rejected ballot measure to increase the minimum wage—the first time since 1996 that minimum wage increase measures were defeated.

In Arizona, voters rejected a legislative referral to allow for tipped workers to be paid 25% less per hour than the minimum wage, as long as their combined wage and tips total at least $2 above the minimum wage.

Voters in Massachusetts and Oregon approved ballot measures concerning unionization policies: for cannabis workers in Oregon, and for transportation network drivers in Massachusetts.

How we decide when to call an election

See also: How we decide when to call an election

Ballotpedia uses two standard criteria when deciding whether to project the outcome of an election:

1.) Type of office

2.) Battleground status

For the first criteria, we make a distinction between top-ballot offices and down-ballot offices. Top-ballot offices include U.S. President, U.S. Congress, and state governor. Down-ballot offices include all other elected state, local, and territorial positions.

For the second criteria, we make a distinction between battleground elections and standard elections. We define a battleground election as one that is particularly competitive or that may have a meaningful effect on the balance of power in government. All other elections receive the standard status.

Based on the above criteria, we take the following approaches when deciding whether to project an election outcome:

• Top-ballot office, battleground status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by a pair of national outlets (DDHQ and NYT). If one but not both of these outlets have called the election, or if both outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner but will publish the calls made by each individual outlet until a consensus has been reached. Vote totals will be updated for these elections on a daily basis until the outcome has been projected, and then again once results have been certified.
• Top-ballot office, standard status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by a pair of national outlets (DDHQ and NYT). If one but not both of these outlets have called the election, or if both outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner. Vote totals will be updated for these elections on a daily basis until the outcome has been projected, and then again once results have been certified.
• Down-ballot office, battleground status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by two credible media outlets covering the election. If one but not both of these outlets have called the election, or if both outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner. Vote totals will be updated for these elections once when the election has been called and again when the results have been certified.
• Down-ballot office, standard status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until a credible media outlet covering the election has called it or at least 95% of precincts are fully reporting and the candidate has a winning margin of at least 5 percentage points or at least 95% of ballots are counted and the candidate has a winning margin of at least 5 percentage points. If an election does not meet either criteria, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting its winner until certified results are released. Otherwise, vote totals will be updated for these elections once when the election has been called and again when the results have been certified.

For top-ballot offices, we selected a pair of prominent outlets that freely release their election calls. Note that some outlets not listed, such as the Associated Press, only release their full list of election projections to paid partners.

Battleground races and elections for U.S. President, U.S. Congress, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state will be covered night-of by Ballotpedia. All other elections may be covered either night-of or the morning following the election.

If an election is uncontested, the candidate running unopposed will be marked as the projected winner following the election instead of being subjected to this criteria.

In the event that there is no consensus but certified results have been published by the relevant government election office, Ballotpedia will call the election in accordance with the certified results. However, if a candidate officially requests a recount or if the results are disputed in court, Ballotpedia will note above the vote totals that the election's outcome is pending the outcome of the lawsuit or recount.

Although the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories elect non-voting officials to the U.S. Congress, those offices are treated by this policy as down-ballot.
