Yuma El Centro, AZ, October 20, 2026 —
The City of Yuma is presenting two propositions, 436 and 437, for voters to consider in the upcoming November election. The measures address different city matters: one concerns the expenditure base for municipal spending, while the other concerns the calculation of signature requirements for candidates seeking city elected office.
Proposition 436 seeks a $30 million adjustment to the city’s expenditure base. According to the available description, the adjustment would allow the city to spend existing revenues on municipal services and infrastructure. The proposal is described as not creating new taxes.
Proposition 437 proposes a change to the method used to calculate how many signatures are required on nomination petitions for city elected office. Under the proposed method, the calculation would be based on results from the preceding primary municipal election rather than the general election.
The two propositions therefore concern separate policy areas: the city’s ability to spend existing revenues and the process for determining petition signature thresholds. The information provided does not specify the election year, provide further details about the proposed expenditure-base adjustment, or explain how the petition-signature calculation would change in practice. It also does not include information about the measures’ sponsors or arguments for and against either proposition.
Voters will consider both propositions in November. No additional details about the measures or their ballot language were provided.
