City of Los Angeles · Los Angeles County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the City Charter be amended to: increase the authority of the Police Department Inspector General and Fire Department Independent Assessor; prohibit Ethics Commissioners from running for certain elected offices for five years; increase penalties for campaign finance violations; require City Council to meet at least weekly rather than the currently required three days per week; increase referendum petition signature requirements; and make other changes regarding ethics, elections and governance?
In plain language
Measure EE is a Los Angeles charter change. It covers ethics, elections, and city government rules. A YES vote gives more power to two watchdog roles. Those are the Police Inspector General and Fire Independent Assessor. It stops Ethics Commissioners from running for some offices. That ban lasts five years. It raises penalties for campaign finance violations. It requires the City Council to meet weekly. Right now they meet three days a week. It also raises the signatures needed for a referendum. Other changes are included too. A NO vote keeps the current rules.
