Volunteers from the LWVLAMV met voters where they shop on Oct 26 and answered questions about the County Assessor race, the proposed County 5/8ths of a penny sales tax, and State Proposition 50 - the temporary redrawing of some District maps.

They helped citizens register to vote for the first time, to reregister after moving, and linked people to our website to see the recordings of the candidates forum and Pete Stahl’s pros and cons presentation. They gave kids future voter wristbands while surrounded by giant pumpkins, veggies, flowers, and families and dogs enjoying the day.
