    On Tuesday, marijuana legalization was on the ballot in four states.

    Florida, North Dakota and South Dakota each voted on measures to legalize recreational marijuana, while voters in Nebraska voted in favor of both recreational and medical marijuana.

    Here are the latest vote counts on each measure and what they would do.

    Florida

    Florida voters apparently failed to pass Amendment 3.

    Decision Desk HQ and the Associated Press weighed in Tuesday, with the measure several percentage points below the 60 percent approval threshold.

    Amendment 3 asked voters to consider a state constitutional amendment that would allow the possession, purchase and use of marijuana for non-medical purposes by adults 21 years of age and older.

    The change would also have allowed medical marijuana treatment centers and other licensed state facilities to purchase, grow, process, manufacture, sell and distribute marijuana products and supplies.

    Nebraska

    On the Nebraska ballot, Initiative Measures 437 and 438 relate to the legalization of medical marijuana. (Recreational marijuana is illegal in the state.)

    • Initiative measure 437 urged voters to consider legislation that would legalize the use, possession and purchase of up to 5 ounces of cannabis for medical purposes, with a written recommendation from a health care provider.
    • Initiative measure 438 urged voters to consider legislation that would legalize the possession, manufacture, distribution, delivery and dispensing of cannabis for medical purposes by registered private companies. The bill would also create the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission to regulate the industry.

    The USA TODAY Nebraska results page shows 72% of votes for Measure 437 and 68% of votes for Measure 438, with 61% of results reported as of 12 p.m. ET Wednesday.

    North Dakota

    Initiated Measure 5 asked voters to decide whether the use and sale of marijuana should be legal for adults over 21 and to establish a regulatory agency for the drug.

    Medical marijuana is already legal in the state.

    USA TODAY North Dakota’s results page showed the “no” vote leading 52.5% to 47.5%, with over 99% of votes reported as of 12 p.m. Wednesday. The Associated Press called the race Tuesday, saying voters had rejected the measure.
