Ballot Measures & Propositions
Midterm Election
October 5 through November 3, 2026

As part of its mission to empower voters by providing unbiased political information, Leagues of Women Voters develop non-partisan presentations of the context, background, and impact of propositions and other measures whenever they are included in an election.

League volunteers explain both sides of the issue.
Our volunteers work together to research the measures and their impacts, create slide presentations with both the Pro's and the Con's of the issues, and include questions submitted by audiences.

Since 2020, we have done most of our Ballot Measure Pro's & Con's online, as Zoom Webinars - and posted them afterwards as Webinar Recordings.
