On November 3, 2026, Los Angeles voters voted on Measure E: Ethics Commission Measure, which as of this morning has officially passed with a 75.12 % “yes” vote, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Measure E will give structure to the new L.A. County Ethics Commission, Office of Ethics Compliance and Ethics Compliance Officer — approved by voters in 2024.
The measure will increase the independence of the commission to investigate county officials and enforce county ethics, campaign finance, lobbying and conflict-of-interest laws. It will also investigate complaints, conduct audits, issue subpoenas and impose penalties on violators.
“Measure E also restores a previously voter-approved Charter provision relating to community investment that was inadvertently removed during implementation of Measure G. Together, these updates strengthen accountability and preserve important voter-approved Charter provisions without increasing taxes,” was the shared argument in favor of the measure.
Measure E is supported by Common Cause California, California Clean Money Campaign, League of Women Voters of L.A. County, AAPI Equity Alliance and Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath.
