For more information about elections and voting, please visit the Secretary of State's Elections Division.



Please note that Proposition 219 is the first proposition for this election. To avoid confusion with past measures, the Legislature passed a law which requires propositions to be numbered consecutively starting with the next number after those used in the November 1982 General Election. This numbering scheme will begin again with Proposition 1 in the November 3, 1998 General Election.
