On a crowded California ballot with a gas tax, caged chickens, rent control and more fighting for voters’ attention, one quiet proposition that sought to pave the way for permanent daylight saving time easily sailed to victory Tuesday. With nearly all precincts counted, about 60 percent of Californians came out in favor of Prop 7, an effort by state Rep. Kansen Chu of San Jose to make daylight saving time a year-round fixture in the Golden State. Its passage just allows the state Legislature to vote on it. Prop 7 merely allows California’s state Legislature to take a vote on the issue. If it does so, the shift to daylight saving time will only be approved with two-thirds voting in favor.
