A Berkeley poll found that three-quarters of registered California voters support term limits for county supervisors, district attorneys and sheriffs.
A large majority of California voters support term limits for local elected offices, including county supervisors, district attorneys and sheriffs, according to a new poll released Tuesday, which some experts say could signal a desire for new leadership in the November elections.
Two out of three respondents said there should be a requirement for the top two finishers in primary elections to face off against each other in the general election. Under the current system for county supervisor, district attorney and sheriff, primary winners who receive more than 50% of the vote in a primary automatically win the race. According to California Common Cause, 53 of the 57 contests for district attorney in the 2022 election cycle were decided in the primary.
