ORDINANCE AMENDING AND REENACTING OAKLAND
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 3.08 TO:
1. REMOVE SECTION 3.08.240, BALLOT TITLE AND SUMMARY OF CITY MEASURE,
TO CLARIFY AND REMOVE UNNECESSARY REQUIREMENTS FOR CITY-SPON- SORED BALLOT MEASURES;
2. AMEND SECTION 3.08.040 TO CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING NOMINA- TION PETITIONS;
3. AMEND SECTION 3.08.080 TO CLARIFY DECLARATION OF CANDIDACY FORMS; AND
4. ADD SECTION 3.08.085 TO CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR BALLOT DESIGNA- TIONS
This Ordinance deletes Oakland Municipal Code (“OMC”) section 3.08.240, which re- quires a ballot and title for City Council-originated ballot measures. OMC section 3.08.240 is duplicative of impartial legal analysis requirements already required for all ballot mea- sures and is not necessary under state election law. This Ordinance would also amend lan- guage in section 3.08.040 to clarify requirements for nomination petitions and amend sec- tion 3.08.080 to clarify requirements for Declaration of Candidacy forms, consistent with uniform materials under state law. Finally, the Ordinance would add section 3.08.085 to clarify local requirements for ballot designations.
