What ballot measures are on the 2026 election ballot in San Diego County

San Diego County voters will decide on two ballot measures, one proposing county charter reforms, including longer supervisor term limits, and the other a sales tax increase that supporters say is needed to address public health and safety concerns.

Measure A calls for charter reforms, including an independent ethics commission, budget analyst and program auditor who would report to the Board of Supervisors, as well as consistent term limits across all county elected offices.

If approved, the measure would allow county supervisors to serve three terms instead of the current two. It would not change term limits for the sheriff, district attorney and other county elected officials, who currently have none.

The requirement that supervisors live in the districts they represent also would remain unchanged.

Lawson-Remer, who proposed the measure last spring, said at the May meeting that the reforms were intended as a long-term effort to "build a stronger and more accountable county government for future generations," not to protect or attack whichever politicians hold office.
