Los Angeles County, California ballot measures

This page lists ballot measures and recall votes that are listed on local ballots for cities, school districts and special districts throughout Los Angeles County, as well as ballot measures that apply to the entire county. When local ballot measure elections in Los Angeles are consolidated with elections for state or federal office, they are generally administered by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. Many cities in Los Angeles County have elections that are not consolidated with county-administered elections, however. Most such cities have an Orange County-based private company, Martin & Chapman Co., conduct those elections. The city clerks of the City of Los Angeles and the City of Long Beach administer their cities’ municipal elections.
