The psychedelic-related measures voters decide on November 3, 2026: Idaho's HJR 4 constitutional amendment and Redmond, Oregon's psilocybin moratorium vote.
Two psychedelic ballot measures face voters on November 3, 2026: Idaho's House Joint Resolution 4 (HJR 4) and a psilocybin moratorium vote in Redmond, Oregon. HJR 4 is a proposed amendment to the Idaho Constitution about who may legalize psychoactive substances. The Redmond measure decides whether the city keeps its ban on psilocybin service centers for two more years.
As of October 12, 2026, we found no source showing a statewide measure to legalize psilocybin or another psychedelic certified for a 2026 ballot. That finding is a limit of our research.
Two measures tied to psychedelics are on November 3, 2026 ballots, one statewide in Idaho and one citywide in Redmond, Oregon. Neither measure asks voters whether to legalize a substance.
Idaho HJR 4 is a constitutional amendment referred to voters by the Idaho Legislature. It would give the Legislature sole authority over legalizing marijuana, narcotics and other psychoactive substances. Citizens could no longer use the initiative process to create or change laws on those substances.
Redmond's psilocybin measure asks whether to extend the city's moratorium on psilocybin service centers for another two years. A yes vote extends the moratorium. A no vote ends it and would allow psilocybin treatment centers in the city.
No statewide psilocybin or psychedelic legalization measure appears in the sources reviewed for this page. Ballotpedia News counted one qualified marijuana-or-psychedelics measure for 2026 as of November 2025, and that measure was in Idaho. Seven others were proposed in six states at that time, and none of them is reported here as certified.
Idaho HJR 4 would amend the Idaho Constitution so that only the Idaho State Legislature can legalize marijuana, narcotics and other psychoactive substances. Ballotpedia News lists its ballot title as "Grant Legislature Exclusive Authority and Prohibit Citizen-Initiated Measures on Marijuana, Narcotics, and Psychoactive Substances Amendment (2026)."
The amendment language, as quoted by Ballotpedia, says "only the [Idaho State Legislature] shall have power and authority" over legalizing those substances. The resolution text and its vote record are on the Idaho Legislature's HJR 4 bill page.
HJR 4 removes marijuana, narcotics and psychoactive substances from Idaho's citizen initiative process. Under the amendment, citizens could not use an initiative to create a new law or change an existing one on those subjects.
If voters approve it, only the Legislature has power over legalizing these substances. A no vote leaves the Idaho Constitution unchanged. The initiative process then stays available for laws on marijuana, narcotics and psychoactive substances.
Idaho HJR 4 reached the ballot as a constitutional amendment referred by the Idaho Legislature, and a referred amendment goes to voters for approval. The Legislature's unofficial journals record the House adopting HJR 4 by a tally of 58-10-2 on March 5, 2025, with Skaug as the House floor sponsor.
The Idaho Senate adopted HJR 4 by a tally of 29-6-0 on March 11, 2025. The resolution was delivered to the Idaho Secretary of State on March 14, 2025.
According to Ballotpedia News, all 58 House yes votes and all 29 Senate yes votes came from Republicans. The 10 House no votes were one Republican and nine Democrats. The six Senate no votes were all Democrats.
Redmond, Oregon voters decide on November 3 whether to extend the city's moratorium on psilocybin service centers for another two years, as reported by the Redmond Spokesman. A yes vote extends the moratorium. A no vote ends it and would allow psilocybin treatment centers in the city.
The Redmond City Council voted 6-1 on August 11 to send the question to voters, according to The Source Weekly. Councilor John Nielsen cast the only no vote.
The current two-year ban would have ended at the end of 2026, The Source Weekly reported. That end date would have let licensed psilocybin centers apply to operate in Redmond.
This fall's vote is the third time psilocybin has been on the Redmond ballot in five years. The council has passed two moratoriums so far, and the first two-year moratorium was approved by the council and passed by voters in 2022. In 2022, 53% of Redmond voters supported the moratorium, and in 2024, 55% supported extending it through the next election.
Oregon voters passed Measure 109 in 2020, and the Redmond Spokesman ties local psilocybin bans in Oregon to that measure. Other Oregon cities named in the Spokesman's coverage include Bend and La Pine.
Bend has multiple legal psilocybin treatment centers. La Pine voters passed an outright ban on all psilocybin-related businesses in 2022. Redmond has used a moratorium that voters approved in 2022; in 2024, 55% supported extending it through the next election.
Oregon Health Authority data cited by the Redmond Spokesman shows more than 20,000 people have accessed Oregon-licensed psilocybin services. State rules are covered in our guide on whether psilocybin is legal in Oregon and on the Oregon page of our legal status tool.
Our August 2026 briefing covered a legal challenge to a psilocybin ballot measure in Joseph, Oregon, a separate local measure from the Redmond vote.
Neither the Idaho amendment nor the Redmond measure changes federal law. Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and no state or local ballot measure changes that status. Our guide to psilocybin's legal status in the US covers the federal rules.
Neither vote is a legalization vote. HJR 4 does not itself legalize or ban anything. A no vote in Redmond would let licensed psilocybin centers apply to operate in the city, and federal law would stay the same.
The official sample ballot issued by a county elections office or the state Secretary of State lists every measure on a given voter's ballot. Other psychedelic law coverage is collected in the law section.
As of October 12, 2026, we found no source showing a statewide measure to legalize psilocybin or another psychedelic certified for a 2026 ballot. Ballotpedia News reported in November 2025 that one marijuana-or-psychedelics measure had qualified for 2026, in Idaho, with seven more proposed in six states at that time. Confirm the list with the Idaho Secretary of State or your county elections office.
Idaho HJR 4 would amend the Idaho Constitution so that only the Idaho State Legislature has power over legalizing marijuana, narcotics and other psychoactive substances. Citizens could not use the initiative process to create or change laws on those substances. The amendment does not itself legalize or ban any substance.
If HJR 4 fails, the Idaho Constitution stays unchanged. The citizen initiative process remains available for laws on marijuana, narcotics and psychoactive substances.
Redmond, Oregon voters decide on November 3, 2026 whether to extend the city's moratorium on psilocybin service centers for another two years. The city council voted 6-1 on August 11 to send the question to voters. It is the third time psilocybin has been on the Redmond ballot in five years.
A yes vote extends Redmond's moratorium on psilocybin service centers for another two years. A no vote ends the moratorium and would allow psilocybin treatment centers in the city. In 2022, 53% of Redmond voters supported the moratorium, and in 2024, 55% supported extending it.
No. Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and no state or local ballot measure changes that. Neither Idaho HJR 4 nor the Redmond measure legalizes any substance.
