Proposition 6, titled Remove Involuntary Servitude as Punishment for Crime Amendment, was a California ballot proposition and constitutional amendment that failed in the 2024 general election on November 5. The proposition, if passed, would have repealed the line "Involuntary servitude is prohibited except to punish crime" from the California Constitution, replacing it with language saying that involuntary servitude is prohibited absolutely.




Support


Supporters argued that "Proposition 6 ends slavery in California and upholds human rights and dignity for everyone. It replaces carceral involuntary servitude with voluntary work programs, has bipartisan support, and aligns with national efforts to reform the 13th Amendment. It will prioritize rehabilitation, lower recidivism, and improve public safety, resulting in taxpayer savings."
"Yes on Prop. 6" has raised $2.07 million as of October 30, 2024.




Opposition


No official argument against Proposition 6 was submitted to the California Secretary of State and no opponents were listed on the ballot. However, public polling has shown the oppose side leading.
The oppose side has not established an official campaign and raised $0 as of October 30, 2024.




Polling






Results


The proposition failed with 4,474,816 (45.3 percent) "yes" votes and 5,394,838 (54.7%) "no" votes.
