City of Culver City Measure YV (Los Angeles County)

What it does

Measure YV. Shall the measure amending the City of Culver City Charter to allow Culver City residents aged 16 and 17, who are otherwise eligible to vote under state and local law, to vote on City and School District candidates and ballot measures, provided that each legislative body has approved budgetary funds and determined logistical systems are in place, and that inclusion would not prevent consolidation of City or School District elections with county elections, be adopted?

A YES vote means

Culver City's charter would let eligible 16- and 17-year-olds vote in City and School District elections, once each body has funded it, set up the systems, and confirmed it won't block consolidation with county elections.

A NO vote means

16- and 17-year-olds would not be allowed to vote in Culver City and School District elections.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

This Charter amendment, which would let Culver City residents aged 16 and 17 vote in City and School District elections, first appeared on the November 8, 2022 ballot and failed, according to the City Clerk's staff report.

The City Council directed staff on March 27, 2026 to place the same measure on the November 2026 ballot, and considered the resolution calling the election and placing the measure on the ballot at its June 22, 2026 meeting.

According to the ballot question, the change would apply only after each legislative body has approved funding and determined that logistical systems are in place, and only if including younger voters would not prevent consolidating City or School District elections with county elections.

Put on the ballot by Culver City City Council, June 22, 2026 (resolution calling the election).
