Provisional vote-effect guide

Do not use this section in place of the official ballot title, impartial analysis, or voter guide. As of , this project had not verified final certified ballot wording. One committee’s 2026 filings use the name “Protect Salinas Residents 2026- Yes on Measure H.” Check the official sample ballot for the measure letter. The guide below is an interpretation of the City’s description of Ordinance No. 2687 and California Elections Code section 13120, which says “yes” adopts the referred ordinance and “no” votes against it.

Expected YES effect

Adopt Ordinance No. 2687, the repeal ordinance. On the current official record, that would repeal the four rent-related ordinances. Implementation timing or later legal changes are outside this guide.

Expected NO effect

Vote against Ordinance No. 2687. On the current official record, the four rent-related ordinances would remain in effect, subject to later lawful changes.

Official context: City Attorney referendum record, City program status, and California Elections Code §13120. Committee contribution records: City NetFile portal. Check the official voter guide when published.
