About Ballot Measure NDC
Ballot Measure NDC asks voters whether Monterey Park should ban the establishment of data centers within the city.
Clarification on what each vote means:
- “Yes” vote — This would ban/prohibit data centers in the City’s General Plan (Land Use Element). Because the General Plan can only be changed by voters, this prohibition could only be reversed by another ballot measure.
- “No” vote — Data centers would not be prohibited in the City’s General Plan. Even if the City Council passes an ordinance banning data centers, a future Council could repeal that ordinance, since ordinances can be changed without voter approval.
The measure will be decided solely by local voters on June 2.
