More than 6 million Florida voters, representing 57% of the vote, cast their ballot in favor of Amendment 4 on Election Day Tuesday. Yet, the abortion measure failed to pass despite 1.5 million more Floridians voting "yes" on the amendment rather than "no."

Florida’s voters were asked whether the state’s constitution should say that “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

Amendment 4 has been rejected by Florida voters in the 2024 election, CBS News projects, meaning Florida's six-week abortion ban will remain in place. The amendment, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution, did not receive approval from at least 60% of voters.
