Municipal Election
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
East Palo Alto voters will consider two local ballot measures and elect two City Councilmembers during the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election.
Official Measure O Ballot Question
Measure O is the East Palo Alto Community, Water and Public Safety Infrastructure Measure.
If approved by voters, Measure O funding would address community-identified priorities such as providing safe and clean drinking water, replacing deteriorating pipes that distribute drinking water, expanding safe places for children and teens, repairing aging storm drains to prevent flooding on City streets, and establishing an up-to-date Emergency Command Center while addressing earthquake safety needs at public facilities.
More than 40 years old, the East Palo Alto Library is outdated, deteriorating, and overcrowded, with wait lists for literacy and children's programming due to a lack of space. A modern library with up-to-date technology, hands-on learning, and dedicated areas for children and teens so they have somewhere safe to go after school and during the summer is envisioned as an outcome of Measure O.
Official Measure CC Ballot Question
Measure CC is the East Palo Alto City Council Term Limits Measure. Measure CC allows voters to decide whether to establish City Council term limits. If approved, no person would be eligible to serve more than three consecutive full terms on the East Palo Alto City Council. A partial term of more than two years would count as one full term.
