From J to TT - November Election Measure Letters
2016 Presidential General Election
2016 Presidential General Election

August 15, 2016 - Friday was the deadline for cities, school districts, special districts, and other jurisdictions to decide if they wanted to place a measure or item on the November 8th ballot.  We have a record number of measures for a general election (33 in fact - this does not include state propositions, which total 17). Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley assigns the letters (generally starting with the last letter used in the previous election) - in this case "I" was the last letter used in June, so we begin with "J".  With so many measures we end up at "TT". A complete list of the measures and their assigned letter can be found on our website.
