A yes/no vote on August 4th is most likely for a ballot measure or constitutional amendment , and the exact issue depends on your state and district. In the results I found, the clearest match is Kansas Amendment 1 , where a Yes vote would let voters elect Kansas Supreme Court justices and a No vote would keep the current merit-based appointment system.

What the votes mean

  • Yes : support changing the law or constitution on the ballot.
  • No : oppose the change and keep the current system.

Why it may be confusing

August 4th appears on ballots in more than one place and for more than one issue, so the meaning of “yes” or “no” can differ depending on where you live. The most specific August 4th yes/no item I found was the Kansas Supreme Court justices amendment.

Most likely answer

If you’re asking about the Kansas August 4th vote, then:

  • Yes = allow elected Supreme Court justices.
  • No = keep the current appointed, merit-based system.

If you want, I can narrow it down to your state or ballot item.
