City Elections
General municipal elections for City Council and ballot measures are held the first Tuesday in March of odd-numbered years. The City Clerk's Office conducts municipal elections in accordance to procedures established by the California Elections Code.
NOTICE FOR 2018 SPECIAL mUNICIPAL ELECTION:
Beginning January 1, 2018, Senate Bill 415 (“SB 415”), the California Voter Participation Rights Act, took effect. SB 415 prohibits a local government from holding an election on any date other than a statewide election date if doing so in the past has resulted in voter turnout that is at least 25 percent below the average turnout in that jurisdiction in the last four statewide general elections, as specified.
Temple City's standalone municipal election turnout rate for the past four statewide elections was less than half the rate needed to meet the "turnout less 25%" standard under SB 415.
At the February 20, 2018, City Council meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-5313 ordering submission to the qualified electors of the City, a measure to amend the City's Charter Section 501, to change the date of the City's Municipal Elections from March of odd-numbered years to March of even-numbered years, to comply with SB 415.
City Council also adopted Resolution No. 18-5314 requesting the Board of Supervisors to consolidate the City's Special Municipal election to be held on June 5, 2018, with the Statewide Election.
