Voting Information for All

Sharifa Batts, Program Vice President

Depending on the election year, voters may need to conduct research on oil and gas  regulations, get familiar with decades of tax policy, or examine infrastructure funding. This November, voters will decide the fate of 10 propositions, including crime, health care, rent
control and taxes. There have been many last-minute changes to these propositions which can be confusing to the most knowledgeable voter. At our October 5, 2024 Branch meeting, AAUW will be hosting a team of presenters from the League of Women Voters, Long Beach Area (LWVLBA), to discuss the ballot measures being decided in November. Their presentation will simply explain the ballot measures: what they will do, what will change if approved, what the cost will be, what supporters and opponents are saying about them and the who and how much of the spending on the measures, e.g. where is all the advertising money coming from.

They will discuss all 3 City of Long Beach measures and 3 others of interest to AAUW, and then will take questions. Additionally, our very own AAUW member Tobi Balma will speak about
AAUW’s position on four ballot measures.

**Please bring any voting materials you have received about the measures and all your questions. The Voter Guide can be found HERE.

The LWVLBA is a 100 year-old organization that is political, but non-partisan. They do not support or oppose any candidate or political party.

Guests are welcome to attend this program that starts at 11:00 AM. Please send in your RSVP to attend the Branch meeting by September 30. See you on Saturday, October 5 at the LBCC Foundation room 208 for the meeting OR on
Zoom. See back page for address.
