Organizers to Submit More than 19,000 Signatures for Santa Monica Term Limits Measure

May 21, 2018 -- Organizers of a proposed measure mandating terms limits for Santa Monica City Council members have a date this morning with the City Clerk to submit petitions with more than 19,000 signatures.

The number of signatures submitted was almost twice as many as needed to win a place on the November 6 ballot, said Mary Marlow, the activist who with Council member Sue Himmelrich proposed the ballot measure.

“We’re excited,” Marlow said. “We’re gonna get this baby on the ballot.”

Marlow, who heads the Santa Monica Transparency Project, said about 10,500 valid signatures – or 15 percent of the City’s registered voters -- are needed to receive a spot on ballot in the election next fall.
