Midterm voters face 17 education measures, including constitutional changes on prayer and sports
Voters in 10 states will decide 17 education-related ballot measures in November 2026, with several seeking to amend state constitutions to lock in policies on school prayer and transgender athletes. Alabama’s measure would mandate daily student-led prayer and Pledge of Allegiance, while Nebraska’s would enshrine bans on transgender students in girls’ sports teams. These initiatives aim to make culture-war policies harder to reverse, reflecting a broader trend of using constitutional amendments to settle educational disputes.
