A City of El Monte Rotating Mayor, Measure RM ballot question was on the November 5, 2013, election ballot for voters in city of El Monte in Los Angeles County, which is in California. It was defeated.
This measure was one of two options the city voters had for how the mayor was elected. Both were defeated. This measure would have approved a council with five members all with four year terms, who would have shared the title of mayor on a rotating basis. The other option, Measure EM, would have simply extended the term of the Mayor to four years instead of the current two. Whichever measure had received more than 50% approval was supposed to go into effect. If both measures had received more than 50% approval, the measure with the greatest number of "yes" votes would have been approved, taking effect in 2015.[1][2]
