The City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 2, directed staff to come back with a cost estimate and ordinance for implementing voter-approved Measure A, which called for allowing Huntington Beach to start asking voters for ID when voting in person in future city elections.

Measure A, which won support from 53.4% of voters in 2024, also says Huntington Beach must provide more in-person voting locations and begin city monitoring of ballot drop boxes.

All that comes with a cost, and city staffers also got approval from the council to look at hiring an election consultant to figure out how to implement voter ID and the rest of Measure A.

The ordinance city staff will come back with should offer more specifics for how the city actually wants to enforce the voter-approved law. Many specifics are still unclear.

    Libtards will lose their minds over this.

  3. Now since other Charter Cities have this option….where is the backbone to not only back Huntington Beach but do exactly the same.

    Voter ID dang right. Show up to prove you are that person.
