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.

Florida's proposed constitutional amendment to guarantee abortion access failed, even though more than half the voters approved it. Why?

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."
