San Jose Residents for Fair Elections, Yes on Measure B

Contribute to Yes on Measure B San Jose-- The Fair Elections Initiative

What is Measure B? 

Voting YES on Measure B will move San Jose’s mayoral elections to presidential years, increasing voter turnout dramatically and positioning our city as a leader in voting rights. This change would give a greater voice to those often left out of our city’s politics and ensure our government is by the people, for the people. 

 

Why should I support this?

Democracy is built on the idea that we all have an equal voice in our government, yet turnout for Mayor elections is dangerously low in San Jose. For instance only 36% and 46% of registered voters cast ballots in San Jose’s 2018 Mayoral primary election and 2014 Mayoral run-off election respectively, compared with 78% and 81% who voted for President in 2012 and 2016 respectively. Moving the mayoral race to presidential years — a more popular election — will ensure more San Joseans have a say in choosing our mayor.
