To the Editor:
The League of Women Voters urges all eligible SLO County voters to get ready to vote in the upcoming Special Election on November 4 by registering to vote, studying fact-based information on Proposition 50, and casting an informed vote.
Vote-by-Mail ballots for the November 4 election will be sent to all active registered voters in early October and the deadline to register to vote is October 20. Now is the time to make sure your voter registration is up to date. To change your registration information, or to register to vote if you are new to San Luis Obispo County, go to
https://cavotes.org.
There will be a single question on the ballot. Voters are asked to vote yes or no on Proposition 50 which authorizes temporary changes to California’s Congressional District maps. The temporary maps will be used through 2030 and the Citizens Redistricting Commission will resume enacting congressional district maps in 2031. If approved, the measure will also establish state policy to encourage the use of independent commissions to draw voting maps nationwide.
For more information on the November 4 election and for unbiased information on Proposition 50 see the League of Women Voters

As with every election, your vote is your voice. Make your voice heard: register to vote and cast your ballot.
