Registrar of Voters to Randomly Select Anaheim Bond Measure Argument for Voter Information Guide

Two Anaheim Union High School District voters filed competing arguments against a $496-million District bond measure. 

SANTA ANA, CA – August 3, 2024 – There can only be one argument against Anaheim Union School District’s proposed $496-million bond measure printed in the County Voter Information Guide for the 2024 Presidential General Election.

At 10 a.m. on Monday, August 5, the Orange County Registrar of Voters will conduct a random draw by lot to select one of the two arguments filed by District voters.

Kevin Carr of Stanton filed an argument against the District’s bond measure on Monday, July 29. Emili DeCrew of Anaheim also filed an argument against the measure shortly before the deadline on Friday, August 2.

For the drawing, the Registrar of Voters will assign a poker chip to Carr and one to DeCew, and then will blindly pull one chip from a bag.

The drawing at the Registrar of Voters’ office – 1300 S. Grand Ave., Building C, Santa Ana – can be observed by the argument signers and the public in person or by livestream video at ocvote.gov/observe.

The Anaheim Union High School District Board of Trustees on Thursday, July 18, adopted a resolution placing the bond measure on the ballot. At least 55 percent of District voters casting a vote in the upcoming election for the measure must vote “Yes” for the measure to pass.

If approved, proceeds from the sale of the general obligation bonds may only be used for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities. The measure also would authorize the District to levy an annual property tax through fiscal year 2056-57 to pay the bond debt. To learn more about the bond measure, visit the Local Measures page on the Registrar of Voters’ website at ocvote.gov/measures.

Following the drawing, the Registrar of Voters will post both the argument supporting the bond measure and the selected argument against the measure on the Local Measures webpage for a 10-day public review period.

The argument supporting the bond measure was signed by Anaheim residents Joey King, Raquel Solorzano-Dueñas, Alan Walker, Jessie Alvarez, and Jose Paolo Magcalas.
