The August 24 election centers on Proposition 3 repealing Prohibition as defined by the Secretary of State. The amendment removes the open saloon but leaves regulation to the Legislature to define liquor sales and local option rules, with dry status continuing in 1929 jurisdictions until further action.

The outcome depends on defeating both August and November amendments to retain dry status.
