Measure D: City of Clearlake Measure “D”

City of Clearlake · Lake County · November 3, 2026

The question on your ballot

SHALL THE OFFICE OF CITY TREASURER BE APPOINTIVE?

In plain language

Measure D asks if the City Treasurer of Clearlake should be appointed instead of elected. A YES vote makes the office appointed under state law. The office would not be filled by the November 3, 2026 election. No candidate could win the office from that election, and all votes cast for Treasurer candidates would not count. The person who is Treasurer when the law takes effect would stay in office until a new Treasurer is appointed. The City Council could change this law later without a vote of the people. But whether the office is appointed could only be changed as state law allows. The law would take effect ten days after the City Council declares the vote results. A NO vote means the office stays elected.
