2018 State Party Platform

State and local bond election ballots should be required to include the amount of debt currently outstanding, current debt service payments, current per capita debt obligations, the amount of new debt being proposed, estimated debt service for the new debt, and estimated per capita burden being proposed. Any bond election (state or local) must pass with at least a two-thirds majority of voters to affirm the bond. The bond issue must obtain a yes vote of a minimum of 20 percent of registered voters. All elections of personnel responsible for adopting a budget and a property tax rate and all elections involving bond indebtedness shall be held on the November uniform election date and administered by the County Clerk or the County Elections Administrator. No public funds are to be spent influencing a bond election. We oppose bundling of items on bond election ballots.
