Piedmont school tax, board, city council seats on Nov. 5 ballot

In addition to federal, state, county and special district representatives along with 10 statewide ballot measures in the Nov. 5 election, Piedmont citizens will also vote for City Council and school board members and a school funding tax.

Piedmont residents registered by Oct. 21 to vote in Alameda County will elect two City Council and three school board members. The ballot also includes Measure P, a Piedmont Unified School District parcel tax that would replace Measure H, the district’s existing special tax that was adopted in 2019. If approved, Measure P would become effective June 20, 2025.

The county Registrar of Voters began sending vote-by-mail ballots on Monday. Ballots can be submitted by mail or deposited in any of the 66 secure ballot drop boxes throughout Alameda County by Nov. 5. In Piedmont, a 24-hour secure ballot drop box is near the mailboxes at Highland Way and Mountain Avenue.

Voters choosing to participate in-person can vote Nov. 2-5 at any of the county’s 100 vote centers. The Veterans Memorial Building at 401 Highland Ave. will serve as Piedmont’s vote center on those days. Several smaller vote centers will open 11 days before the election and starting on Oct. 26 will include one near Piedmont at Oakland Technical High School (4351 Broadway in Oakland).
