Municipal Law

Best Best & Krieger provides a wide range of advice to our clients on election law, including legal and tactical advice concerning initiative and referenda processes.

We routinely assist clients during all stages of the initiative and referenda processes concerning initiative drafting, filing, publication and circulation, spending limits, ballot arguments, campaign regulations, election contests, election timing, ballot security, recall procedures, ballot recounts, election result contests and other post-election matters. We provide advice to clients conducting regular, special and consolidated elections. We also advise clients on voter registration issues, candidate qualification and nomination procedures, ballot pamphlet issues, and ethics laws. Our experience in these matters has given us a full understanding of California's Political Reform Act, Proposition 208 and local campaign finance regulations.

BB&K counsels clients in their redistricting efforts. We advise clients on the Voting Rights Act compliance and other state and federal laws pertaining to reapportionment.
