Here’s where measures in Compton stand after an update to early returns released at about 12:45 a.m. Wednesday. All percentages were rounded.
The preliminary results were composed of vote-by-mail ballots that arrived before Election Day, and ballots cast at a vote center before and on Election Day.
Compton: Measure CA
About 60% had voted in favor of Measure CA, while nearly 40% voted against it.
If approved, Measure CA would amend the city charter to make the city attorney’s position appointed rather than elected, and require a city attorney to have at least 10 years of municipal law experience. This measure needs a simple majority to pass.
Compton Community College District: Measure CC
Measure CC had 67% support, with nearly 33% opposed. To pass, 55% of the vote is needed.
The $200 million facilities bond is “designed to fund critical building improvements and replacements, safety additions, and classroom technology upgrades at Compton College,” according to its website.
Measure CC would have an annual cost of $20 per $100,000 of assessed property value for voters in the Community College District.
