Let's Talk About: Voting (General Election)

The discussion begins in late September with a nonpartisan explanation of the measures on this year’s ballot, helping you to cast an informed vote this November.

This year’s presidential election will be the first in which Millennials and Baby Boomers have equal footing — an interesting dichotomy given the nature of how we talk about politics today.

Gone are the days when your politics and the beliefs that support them are stowed away, only to be glimpsed at in the voting booth. Today, engaging each other in discussion leads the way. Join in as the Library hosts a discussion about the 17 measures on the November general election ballot — the highest number seen on a ballot since the May 2000 primary election.

Officials from the California Legislative Analyst’s Office will explain each measure, while Kim Nalder, founder of the Sacramento State University Project for an Informed Electorate, will provide information on ballot endorsements. Discussion will follow.

Note: Please RSVP for the event. Attendees are encouraged to bring their sample ballot with them to the discussion.
