Measures will be assigned in alphabetical order 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 counties will mutually agree to use a letter designation for the measure that will not conflict or confuse the voter. Arguments are limited to 300 words. If arguments in favor and against are submitted, authors will have the opportunity to submit rebuttals. An impartial analysis will be submitted by county counsel or the city attorney, whichever is applicable.
Bond measures require a tax rate statement to be filed.
A fiscal impact statement may also be ordered. This section shall not apply to counting words for ballot designations. All geographical names shall be counted as one word. Areas that have boundaries and can be mapped are considered geographic areas. Each abbreviation for a word, phrase, or expression shall be counted as one word.
