As of the latest ballot count, “yes” votes for Measure A and B are ahead by 54% and 58%, respectively. Measure A would allow Huntington Beach to ask for voter ID at the polls; Measure B would restrict which flags can be flown from city flagpoles.
Measure C, which would implement a two-year budget and change the way city council vacancies are filled, appears to be losing.

Measure A would change Huntington Beach’s charter (like a constitution for cities) to allow the city to require voters to show identification in municipal elections starting in 2026. It would also allow the city to monitor ballot drop boxes and add 20 new voting locations dispersed throughout the city.
Supporters say the measure would restore voters’ trust in the election process and ensure that only verified registered voters are casting ballots.Â
