Today the Shasta County Board of Supervisors performed their ministerial duty to add our election reform initiative to the ballot.    Unlike the highly unpopular city tax measure that got placed on the ballot immediately for a special election, our initiative will be voted on by the people during the regularly scheduled June 2, 2026 primary election.   

After receiving over 10,000 signatures, the Shasta County petition for election reform was officially certified by the Registrars of Voters today.  This local measure will now be placed before the voters in the next election.  If successful, Shasta County will implement local control of their elections which will include voter ID, same day election results, and clean voter rolls.
