For: 59.51% (91,387 votes)
Against: 40.49% (62,171 votes)
*The results, however, will be “advisory” and send a message to the legislature, where the “next steps toward marijuana policy reform will take place.”
The council of the City of Santa Fe voted to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana in August.
