Measure YV

City of Culver City · Los Angeles County · November 3, 2026

The question on your ballot

Measure YV. Shall the measure amending the City of Culver City Charter to allow Culver City residents aged 16 and 17, who are otherwise eligible to vote under state and local law, to vote on City and School District candidates and ballot measures, provided that each legislative body has approved budgetary funds and determined logistical systems are in place, and that inclusion would not prevent consolidation of City or School District elections with county elections, be adopted?

In plain language

Measure YV would let some teens vote. Ages 16 and 17 could vote in Culver City. They could also vote in School District races. They must still meet other state and local rules. This would only start once two things happen. The City Council must approve money for it. The School District must also approve money. Both must set up the needed systems. It also could not happen in one case. It could not happen if it would stop joint elections with the county. A YES vote lets these teens vote. That happens once those steps are done. A NO vote keeps the voting age at 18.
