Huntington Beach Special Election Results: Residents Weigh in on the Library

Huntington Beach voters tonight weighed in on the future of their city’s library, coming out against the city council’s proposal to institute a book review committee, with nearly 59% of voters opposing the limits as of 9:30 p.m.

Voters were also on track to approve a law that would block city leaders from selling the library or privatizing its operations, with over 60% of voters approving the restriction.

Measure A, which asked voters to repeal the city’s proposed 21 person book review committee, received over 30,000 votes in support, with just over 21,000 calling for the committee to remain in place.

Measure B, which asked voters to block any future proposals to privatize the library’s operations, got over 31,000 votes while over 20,000 voters wanted to let city leaders make those decisions.
