At our last OVDC meeting, members supported the Executive Committee Drafting a Resolution in support of returning to at-large voting where council members are elected city wide. This is on the Ojai City Council Agenda for Tuesday, May 12, 2026. OVDC emailed our Resolution 26-01 for Public Comment. We advocate for all members of the Ojai community to contact their council members and submit public comments in support of at-large voting.

Specifically, please ask the Council to hold a public hearing on this issue at their next meeting and direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance restoring at-large voting, so all Ojai voters can once again have a voice in electing every council member.
Please consider filing a speaker card at the May 12 meeting, for item 11, At Large Voting. Or login on zoom. Ojai City Council Agenda and zoom link available here:
