Unofficial result: Passed

Mesa city, Arizona
My vote power: High

What does this measure do?

Question 3 would change Mesa's charter so state law governs when and where the council meets, how meetings are announced, and why closed sessions may be held. It sets no new tax; residents would pay any ordinary city costs through existing funds.

Read the official ballot measure

Proposed by: Mesa City Council (Ordinance No. 6017)

The city's elected council sent the change to voters. It says the change makes the city charter (the city's rulebook) match state law. A charter can only be changed by a public vote.
