§ 40236 Bond Approval Voter Threshold

• •To approve bonds, 60% of voters must say 'yes' to the proposal.
• •This rule applies to elections where bonds are being decided.
• •If fewer than 60% vote 'yes,' the bonds won't be issued.

A town wants to build a new school and needs money, so they ask voters to approve bonds.

If 100 people vote, at least 60 of them must vote 'yes' for the bonds to be approved. If only 59 vote 'yes,' the bonds won't be issued, and the school might not get built.
