Californians will be asked to decide on more than a half dozen complex ballot initiatives when they go to the polls Nov. 8. To make their job easier, the League of Women Voters of Santa Monica is offering a variety of voter education services.
Locally, the league will present a “pros and cons” discussion of the propositions at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 24 at Mt. Olive Church, 1343 Ocean Park Blvd.
During the one-hour meeting, a League speaker will present impartial analysis, as well as arguments for and against the propositions, and answer questions. Voters on both sides of the issues should come away with a better understanding of the initiatives that could affect the state for years to come, League members say.
The local chapter of the League also has joined forces with the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles for a larger pros and cons presentation from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Loyola Marymount University in Westchester.
Those who want to attend the meeting at the university’s Ahmanson Auditorium should call (213) 252-4550.
In addition to speakers who can present all the ballot initiatives in an unbiased manner, the Santa Monica chapter also has other speakers who can explain the League’s position on various ballot measures.
Organizations interested in either kind of a presentation or should call (310) 394- 4661. For more information on the Oct. 24 meeting at Mt. Olive Church, call (310) 452- 1116. ‘Halloween’ star to host costume party in SM
