Referendum 90 was a Washington state referendum to approve or reject the March 2020 bill that would mandate that comprehensive sex education is taught in all public schools in the state. On June 24, 2020, state officials announced that enough signatures in favor of the referendum had been submitted and scheduled the referendum to appear on the ballot in the November 3 general election. The law was upheld by voters in the November 3, 2020 election by a final margin of 15.6% (57.8% approve, 42.2% reject). This measure was the nation's first ballot measure pertaining to sex education to be decided by voters.
