November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election
Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder Election Night Live Results
The City of Monterey Park will conduct its General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The General Election is consolidated with the Statewide General Election conducted by the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder’s office.
Registered voters will cast ballots in their respective district for a City Council position in Council District Nos. 1 and 5, a City Clerk and a City Treasurer, to serve a four-year term ending in November 2030; and two (2) ballot measures.
Ballot Measures
- Measure HOM - Proposition to Create HOME Housing Overlays in Monterey Park (at large)
Shall a measure amending the Monterey Park Land Use Element to keep residential neighborhoods intact through maintaining voter-approved land use restrictions and Monterey Park’s local control over the state for housing decisions, continue prohibiting data centers, provide housing for residents, prevent crime/homeless encampments, attract businesses, and improve the local economy by allowing limited residential uses in underutilized industrial, commercial/office areas, requiring public input, ensuring environmental protections, protecting public safety, parks/open space, be adopted?
On August 5, 2026, the City Council added a proposition to the ballot for the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election. If adopted by voters, the measure would amend the Monterey Park Land Use and Urban Design Element to create the Housing Overlay Mixed Environments (“HOME”) land use designation and ratify related amendments to the Land Use Policy Map.
The HOME designation would allow housing, including multifamily dwellings, townhomes, condominiums, and mixed-use development with housing, in commercial and industrial areas identified on the City’s Land Use Policy Map. The measure would authorize the City Council to adopt zoning regulations implementing the HOME designation. It would not itself approve any development, and applying the HOME designation to a specific property would require City Council approval at a public hearing.
The HOME designation would not be available for parcels in the R-1 or R-2 residential zones. The measure would leave the City’s existing prohibition on data centers intact.

- Measure AAA - Transient Occupancy Tax (at large)
Shall the ordinance maintaining City of Monterey Park’s services like fire, police, 911 response; keeping public areas safe/clean; helping prevent property crimes/human trafficking in Monterey Park; repairing streets/ potholes; for other city services; by increasing the transient occupancy tax paid only by hotel/motel guests from 13% to 14%, and short-term rental guests, from 13% to 16%, providing approximately $600,000 annually until ended by voters; requiring audits, spending disclosure, local control over all funds, be adopted?
On July 1, 2026, the City Council added a proposition to the ballot for the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election. If adopted by voters, the measure would amend the City's transient occupancy tax ("TOT") ordinance by increasing the tax paid by hotel and motel guests from 13% to 14% and establishing a 16% TOT for guests staying in short-term rentals. The measure would continue to require hotel, motel, and short-term rental operators to collect the tax from guests and remit it to the City.
The measure would amend the definition of "hotel" to clarify that short-term rentals are governed separately while making the existing registration, collection, reporting, remittance, recordkeeping, refund, penalty, and enforcement provisions applicable to both hotels and short-term rentals. If approved by a majority of voters, the measure would become effective and operative in accordance with its terms.
