Existing law specifies the order in which state measures appear on the ballot and requires state measures to be numbered in a continuous sequence starting with "1" for a period of 10 years, after which time the sequence recommences.
Notwithstanding those provisions, this bill would specify that 5 particular measures that will be submitted to the voters at the November 3, 2026, statewide general election will be the first 5 measures to appear on the ballot and that they will be designated Propositions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The bill would not affect the placement or numbering of any other measure that will be submitted to the voters at the same election.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
