Local Elections: Successful General Obligation Bonds -- March 2005 through November 2005
March 2006
This table, from 2006 Resource Cards shows the passage rate of general obligation bonds from March through November 2005. In November 2000, voters passed Proposition 39, which gives school districts the option of putting on the ballot a facilities bond measure requiring only a 55% "yes" vote (as opposed to a 2/3 majority) as long as extra accountability provisions are attached.
From 2001 through 2005, 288 districts sought 55% voter approval, and 249 (86%) of those elections succeeded. From 1986 through 2005, 927 districts sought two-thirds voter approval, and 511 (55%) were successful. Altogether, 1,215 general bond elections were held during that time, and 760 (63%) passed. Local bond elections generated a total of $31.7 billion between 1998 and 2005.
