Information About the Local West Hollywood Election and Measure WH
On August 5, 2024, the West Hollywood City Council unanimously placed Measure WH, otherwise known as the West Hollywood Local Control, Public Safety Measure, on the November ballot for voter consideration.
If approved by West Hollywood voters, Measure WH would not enact a new sales tax. If Los Angeles County or regional government agency imposes a future sales tax that impacts West Hollywood, Measure WH will automatically redirect ¼ cent of those sales tax funds collected in West Hollywood to the City, that could be used to maintain the services local residents have indicated are important, including:
- Keeping public areas safe and clean
- Responding to crimes and thefts
- Addressing homelessness
- Retaining and attracting local businesses
- Maintaining/repairing streets
- Maintaining public safety patrols in residential/commercial areas
Measure WH is subject to Accountability Requirements
Measure WH funding incorporates accountability requirements such as public disclosure of all spending and annual independent financial audits. By law, any funds that Measure WH redirects must remain in the City of West Hollywood and cannot be taken by the State or any other government agency.
