Amends existing law to revise the deadlines and dates for a city initiative and referendum election.
ELECTIONS -- Amends existing law to revise the deadlines and dates for a city initiative and referendum election.
ELECTIONS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The legislation will remove the restriction of city initiative and referendum elections to only be held in odd-numbered years. Currently, allowing initiatives and referenda only in odd years causes residents to sometimes wait for nearly two years to undo or change an existing ordinance. Allowing an initiative or referendum in any year will help local government be more responsive to citizens' proposals.
