Measure CC: CHARTER AMENDMENT MEASURE CC:

In plain language

Measure CC is a Burbank rule change about City Council elections. Right now, Council members must be elected at-large, meaning citywide. A YES vote removes that rule. Then the City Council or voters could pick a new election system by passing a separate law. A NO vote keeps the current rule. It stays written into the city's charter, requiring at-large elections.

Impartial analysis

CITY OF BURBANK CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE CC CITY OF BURBANK CHARTER AMENDMENT MEASURE Measure CC amends Article 3, section 300 and section 305 of the Charter of the City of Burbank as to the method of electing members of the Burbank City Council. The City Council placed this measure on the ballot pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement resolving litigation against the City under the California Voting Rights Act. Current Charter Provisions: The Charter currently specifies how City Council members are elected. Specifically, Burbank voters elect members of the City Council “at large,” meaning any voter who is a resident of the City can run for election to a seat on the City Council in accordance with the provisions of state law. Two seats are open in the presidential election year; three seats are open in the gubernatorial election year. In each election, every Burbank voter can vote for as many candidates as there are open seats on the City Council. For example, in November 2026 every Burbank voter can vote for up to three candidates for City Council. In November 2028, every Burbank voter can vote for up to two candidates for City Council. Only the voters can change this method of electing Council members by amending the Charter. What Would Change If Voters Approved Measure CC: Approving Measure CC would amend the Charter to remove the requirement that members of the City Council be elected “at large” and allow the manner of election of Council members be specified by ordinance enacted by the City Council or by the voters. How Measure CC Operates: Burbank voters must approve Measure CC if the voters wish to have by- district elections for City Council members. For example, Measure CD is also on the November 2026 ballot. Measure CD is an ordinance for the by-district election of City Council members in single-member districts in the map that is part of that measure. If the voters approve Measure CD, it cannot go into effect unless the voters also approve Measure CC to remove the requirement in the Charter for the at-large election of City Council members. Removing the Charter requirement for at-large elections of Council members would permit the Council or the voters to adopt a different by-district election ordinance and map, if the voters do not approve Measure CD.
