Validation requirements
通過公債券及徵稅議案所需規限

Bond & Levy Election Validations 通過公債券及徵稅議案所需規限

Passing a levy or bond issue isn't a simple matter of majority rules. State law makes levy and bond issues tougher to pass by requiring a "super majority."

By State Constitutional (Article 7 Section 2) mandate, such propositions must be approved by not less than a sixty percent majority of the voters voting for the proposition rather than a simple majority. In addition, they have validation requirements.

要通過徵稅或公債券提案不是按眾數通過這麼簡單。州法例要求最少有百份之六十的"超級眾數"的贊成票方能通過。

按華州憲法 (第七章第二節)所指定，這些提案須最少要有百分之六十的贊成票數而不祇是超過百分之五十的簡單眾數就可通過。它們還需符合其它議案通過的需求。

Levy Validation 通過徵稅提案的要求

To validate, levies must pass with a 60% favorable majority. They must also win a minimum number of YES votes based on the number of people who voted in the previous November General Election within the school or fire, etc., district. That minimum number of YES votes is determined by taking 60% of 40% of the people who voted in the most recent General Election.

Example: If there were 10,000 votes cast in the last General Election:

要通過徵稅議案，須有百份之六十的贊成票數。它們亦須按上屆十一月普選，校或消防等區內的總投票數為本，要有一最低贊成票數的規限。此最低贊成票數是上次普選百份之四十總投票數的百份之六十。

例如：如上屆普選總投票數是一萬

To pass the levy, the district needs to have at least 2,400 YES votes, even if only a total of 2,500 people vote on the levy.
要通過徵稅提案，該區需有最少2,400份贊成票數，雖然可能在徵稅提案上，祇有2,500人投票。

Bond Validation 通過公債券提案的要求

Bond issues must validate two ways. They must pass with a 60% favorable majority, or 60% of ballots cast are "Yes" votes. In addition, they have a voter turnout requirement that levies don't have. The turnout must equal 40% of the voters who cast ballots in the last General Election. So, a bond measure could get the required number of YES votes, but could still fail if not enough people vote in the election.

要通過公債券提案有兩個需求。須有百份之六十贊成票數。此外，亦須有徵稅提案沒有的最少總投票數的規限。

Example: 10,000 people voted in the XYZ School District in last year's November General Election.
例如： XYZ校區 在上屆十一月普選有一萬人投票。

To pass this bond issue, the XYZ District must also ensure that at least 4,000 people vote in the bond election. Of those, at least 2,400 must vote YES.

要通過此公債券，XYZ區須最少有四千人投票在此債券選舉中，而其中2,400份是贊成票。

To better understand validation requirements, it may be helpful to read the State Constitution (Article 7, Section2).
