Proposition 3, titled Constitutional Right to Marry, was a California ballot proposition that passed by vote in the 2024 general election on November 5, 2024. The proposition repealed Proposition 8, passed during the 2008 general election, and amended the state constitution to declare that the "right to marry is a fundamental right". It also ensured that same-sex couples would have the right to marry in California in case the United States Supreme Court ever overturns Obergefell v. Hodges, thus making it a symbolic gesture until then.
