City Charter Measure on November 2026 Ballot
Summary
Rosemead voters will decide in November whether to become a charter city, which would give the council more authority over municipal affairs, add 20-year term limits, create a city prosecutor, and allow economic development spending. Supporters say it protects local control from state mandates; critics worry about accountability and past ethics issues.

Adding the full charter text to sample ballots costs an estimated few thousand dollars more, on top of roughly $105,000-$110,000 election costs.
