CALIFORNIA — This November's ballot contains a number of propositions that were crafted by citizens, rather than the California governor or Legislature, to propose laws that are either voted in or rejected.

As part of an exclusive Spectrum News/Ipsos poll, Californians weighed in on a handful of the 12 propositions up for a vote on Election Day. The poll was conducted in October with 1,400 state residents, 824 of whom live in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.

Here are a few of the propositions and a look at how they're polling based on our survey:

• Prop 15: Fifty-five percent of Californians, including 57% of L.A.-area residents, support increasing property taxes for large businesses to reflect their current property value, instead of their purchase value.
• Prop 16: Thirty-eight percent of Californians, including 38% of L.A.-area residents, support reinstating affirmative action in California, by repealing Prop 209, which banned it.
• Prop 20: Fifty-nine percent of Californians, including 58% of L.A.-area residents, support expanding the list of violent crimes for which early release from prison is not an option. 
• Prop 22: Sifty-two percent of Californians, including 59% of L.A.-area residents, support classifying app-based rideshare drivers as independent contractors.

The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of precision used for online polls, of +/- 3.0% for all respondents.
