What this Tab covers
Local and state ballot measures on property taxes, school bonds, sales taxes, housing, zoning, transit and public safety with dollar impact and election dates, measure certification and signature deadlines, voter guide and argument publication dates, results and their effective dates, and legal challenges to measures, with the jurisdiction and the measure first.
- State secretaries of state and county election offices
- Ballotpedia
- City and county clerk measure filings
- School district bond announcements
- State legislative analyst and county auditor fiscal impact statements
- Local voter guides
- Court rulings on measure validity
Why it matters
A $400 a year property tax increase on the ballot, a transit tax that changes a commute, or a housing measure that changes what can be built next door each matters more than the fee.
Who it is for
- Homeowners, renters and parents who want to know what a bond measure will add to a tax bill or a school before they vote, not after.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Monday 15:00 UTC, twice weekly in the 30 days before an election. Ballot measures are certified 60 to 90 days before elections, school bond and tax measures appear in spring, summer and November elections, and results are certified within weeks

Brief for Local Ballot Measure & Bond Vote WatchTrack ballot measures for US voters. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days and the coming 60 days: certified local and state ballot measures on property taxes, school and infrastructure bonds, sales and income taxes, housing, zoning, rent control, transit, public safety and minimum wage with election dates and official fiscal impact estimates; measure certification, signature and ballot argument deadlines; voter guide and sample ballot publication dates; election results and effective dates for approved measures; and court rulings on measure validity. Prefer secretary of state, county election office, city and county clerk, school district, legislative analyst and Ballotpedia sources; ignore campaign advertising. Put the jurisdiction and the measure first in the title. Use high severity for a measure with a direct tax impact over $200 a year per household within 30 days of an election, or a signature or argument deadline within 14 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what the measure does, the cost or impact, the election date, where to read the official analysis, and the source link. Present arguments for and against neutrally when official arguments are available. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
