Source: results.lavote.gov
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Moves the city to a two-year budget, requires a long-term plan for fixing streets, parks, bridges, and buildings, gives the Director of Public Works more power, and lets the city mortgage its property and run businesses. Setup costs of $4 million to $6 million come from the city budget; no new tax.
Proposed by: Los Angeles City Council (ordinance calling the special election, Council File 26-1100-S11)
The city's elected council called a Nov. 3, 2026 special election on this change to the city charter (the city's rulebook). A charter change needs a public vote.
