According to Fox Business, voters in at least ten states rejected ballot initiatives that would have permitted new data-center projects, citing concerns over electricity costs, land use and AI infrastructure growth. Semafor reported that similar measures had been approved in more than 30 municipalities across nine states, enacting moratoriums, bans or restrictions on data-center construction. CNBC’s analysis of Ballotpedia data showed that voters opposed 40 of 41 such measures, with only a single proposal in North Dakota passing.

Ars Technica noted that the defeats coincided with Democratic candidates promising tighter AI regulation winning key races, while industry leaders argued the vote reflected broader economic concerns rather than an anti-tech mandate. The Lever quoted a tech-lobby head who said AI and data-center issues were low-priority for voters.
