A comprehensive list of referendum and initiative votes on the use of photo enforcement nationwide. Updated 12/19
A total of 1,253,231 voters across eleven states have gone to the polls to cast a ballot in favor or against the use of photo enforcement. The vast majority have said "no" to red light cameras and speed cameras.
Since 1991, there have been a total of 43 election contests in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, Washington. With few exceptions, automated ticketing has failed by as much as 86 percent. One city did embrace the use of cameras after uniformed police officers were dispatched to go door-to-door to "encourage" citizens to keep the ticketing system in place.
The following is a comprehensive list of each contest, with the percentage opposed to the use of cameras and links to further information.
