Ballot Measure Engagement
Ballot Review Process
The Chamber Board of Directors’ Executive Committee initiates review of any local or statewide ballot measures following ballot language certification from the respective public entity. Any local measure is reviewed by the Chamber’s Local Issues Task Force, and any statewide measure is reviewed by the Chamber's Legislative Policy Committee. Both groups assist the board of directors in establishing policy positions on local or statewide ballot issues, with both groups comprised of individuals with diverse industry perspectives.
The established format of a ballot measure review meeting includes inviting staff of the public entity involved in the ballot issue to provide an educational overview of the issue when applicable, and both proponents and opponents of the issue are invited to present. Following this review, the respective committee or task force provides a recommended position, which is brought to the Chamber board for final consideration.
