Ballot Measures Defined
Legislative Bond Measure
Any bill that calls for the issuance of general obligation bonds must be adopted in each house of the State Legislature by a two-thirds vote, signed by the Governor, and approved by a majority of voters to be enacted. Whenever a bond measure is on a statewide ballot, an overview of California’s bond debt is included in the Voter Information Guide. Legislative bond measures must qualify for the ballot 131 days before a statewide election.
