Below is a list of local measures that have qualified for the November
4, 2008 Presidential General Election as of the final deadline of August 8, 2008.
Proofing continues on the Voter Information Pamphlet pages. The
documents attached are NOT FINAL.
Public Inspection Period: Pursuant to the Elections Code, the
county elections official shall make a copy of arguments, analyses, rebuttals and ballot
materials for measures on the November 2008 ballot available for public examination in the
county elections official's office for a period of 10 calendar days immediately following
the deadline for submission of those materials. Original documents will be on public
display at the Elections Department, 701 Ocean St., Room 210,
Santa Cruz.
Any person may obtain a copy of the materials from the county elections
official for use outside of the county elections official's office. The county elections
official may charge a fee to any person obtaining a copy of the material. The fee may not
exceed the actual cost incurred by the county elections official in providing the copy.
During the 10-calendar-day public examination period provided by this
section, any voter of the jurisdiction in which the election is being held, or the county
elections official, himself or herself, may seek a writ of mandate or an injunction
requiring any or all of the materials to be amended or deleted. The writ of mandate or
injunction request shall be filed no later than the end of the 10-calendar-day public
examination period.
A peremptory writ of mandate or an injunction shall be issued only upon
clear and convincing proof that the material in question is false, misleading, or
inconsistent with this chapter, and that issuance of the writ or injunction will not
substantially interfere with the printing or distribution of official election materials
as provided by law.
The county elections official shall be named as respondent and the
person or official who authored the material in question shall be named as real parties in
interest. In the case of the county elections official bringing the mandamus or injunctive
action, the board of supervisors of the county shall be named as the respondent and the
person or official who authored the material in question shall be named as the real party
in interest.
Lettering of Measures
Measures were assigned a letter by the County Clerk after 5 p.m.
on August 8, 2008.
Letters designating measures will be assigned by the
elections official pursuant to Elections Code §13116. Letters will be assigned after the
close of consolidations, which occurs 88 days before the election. Measures will be
assigned in alphabetical order, in the order that they appear on the ballot, beginning
with the letter following the last letter assigned in the previous election and continuing
through Z, or as close to the end of the alphabet as possible to accommodate all measures
filed for the current election. For example, if the previous election ended with measure
V, and five measures are on the next ballot, the measures will be assigned A, B, C, D, E
rather than W, X, Y, Z, A.
For districts that overlap into other counties, the lead county will
assign a letter designation for the measure. The letter assigned to these measures may not
be in alphabetical order.
Measures will appear on the ballot in the following order pursuant to
Elections Code §13109: County Board of Education, College,
Unified Schools, High Schools, Elementary Schools, County, Cities, Districts. In order to
allow for the most efficient use of space, the county elections official may vary the
order of the measures.
