In each statewide election, the Office of the County Executive brings a report to the Board of Supervisors on the upcoming statewide ballot propositions, and seeks Board direction for each measure. The Office of the County Executive provides a recommendation of ‘Support’, ‘Oppose’, or ‘Neutral’, informed by the County’s adopted Legislative Platform.
