For the upcoming November 6, 2018 Gubernatorial General Election, it will take more time to fill out your ballot because of the addition of a second card (two pages front and back). Here are a few strategies to help make the voting process a more convenient experience for all. VOTEBYMAIL ~ SIMPLE. Your ballot arrives in your mailbox. SMART. Make voting decisions and complete your ballot comfortably at home. SECURE. Seal your completed ballot in the provided envelope, sign and date it, add postage and return it by mail promptly so it is received well before November 6, 2018. Starting October 29th, you can deposit your sealed ballot at one of several convenient drop-off locations around the county. Or, drop it at the Registrar's office now or at any poll on Election Day. Tip: Mail Ballot Voters who decide to vote at their polling place should BRING both cards of their Mail Ballot to be SURRENDERED, then a new two card ballot will be issued. There's still time to sign up for your mail-in ballot. Go to sdvote.com and click on "Vote by Mail" VOTE ON ELECTION DAY ~ Mark your selections on the sample ballot in advance so when you go inside the voting booth, you can quickly fill in the official ballot. Be sure to go to your assigned polling location between 7am and 8pm. Look up your assigned poll at sdvote.com. * * * * * VOTE 2018 * * * * * FP-02-29 N SO 275-001 VOTING PROVISIONALLY. WHAT IS IT? ONLY USE IT AS A LAST RESORT. As a registered voter in San Diego County, provisional voting protects your ability to vote. If you can't make it to your poll, you forget to bring your mail ballot to the poll, or your name is not on the voter list, it is your right to receive a provisional ballot. But be prepared to spend some time filling out the form on the provisional envelope. Also if you vote provisionally outside your assigned voting precinct, you may not be voting on all the contests you are eligible to vote on. Here's how to avoid unnecessary provisional voting on Election Day: Go to your ASSIGNED polling place: See back cover of this pamphlet. Surrender Your Mail Ballot: If you decide to vote at your ASSIGNED polling place instead of by mail, BRING your mail ballot packet with you to the polls to be SURRENDERED. Vote and Return Your Mail Ballot: Mail promptly, or deposit your completed mail ballot at a drop-off location PRIOR to Election Day. See drop-off locations in your packet or at: sdvote.com. YOUR VOTE. YOUR CHOICE. Election Day can be a hectic time of last minute decisions. Or with a little preparation, the experience can be convenient and easy. Either way, we will ensure every eligible vote is counted.

HARKEY Elected Taxpayer Representative and Businesswoman As a Constitutional and State Representative for San Diego County, I've continually worked across party lines to get results for our district and state. I'll take that same independent, problem-solving approach to Congress. I am proud to have helped hundreds of women-owned businesses and others, overcome adversity and succeed. The National Federation of Independent Business rated me at 97% over five years. I also serve as a co-Chair for the campaign to repeal the regressive gas/car tax increase that harms working families and businesses. My 30-year career in business, banking and finance, raising a family, plus local government background, provides first-hand experience to be an effective and strong voice for you in Congress promoting: Economy: I'll champion tax and regulatory policies that promote economic growth, innovation, entrepreneurship, and workable, enforceable immigration and visa reforms. Health Care: I'll work for affordable health care policies that place patients and doctors first allowing them to decide what care is best. Better mental health care and preventing opioid addiction and homelessness will also be a priority. Public Safety, National Defense: I'm committed to enhanced border security, walls where practical, and ensuring our nation and those that enforce laws and defend us are respected, funded, and their families receive the-support and care they deserve. San Diego Mayors, County Supervisors, City officials, Deputy Sheriffs Association, Veterans and Taxpayer groups endorse me.

Mayor Kevin Faulconer Visit: www.HarkeyforCongress.com UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES / 49th District MIKE LEVIN Clean Energy Advocate AGE: 39 Our community faces serious challenges in the coming years. Climate change threatens our environment. The costs of health care, housing, and higher education continue to rise faster than wages.

We need a Congressmember who will work across party lines in our best interests. We need Mike Levin. Mike Levin is an environmentalist who has worked to create good local jobs in sustainable energy. Mike Levin and his wife Chrissy are parents who know the pressure of raising children and paying the bills while saving for college and a secure retirement.

BATES State Senator/Business Woman I am honored to serve as your voice in the State Senate, where I work for bipartisan solutions on issues facing our community. My priorities are: fiscal responsibility and tax relief; environmental protection; and job creation. I'm working to make California more affordable for middle-income families and small business. Fiscal responsibility and tax relief: I'm working to repeal the unfair, regressive gas and car tax increases that unfairly target low and middle income families. California collects plenty in taxes for road repairs and is sitting on a multibillion-dollar budget surplus. Environmental protection: I have helped pass new laws to prepare the state for climate change, address ocean acidification, increase safety of oil pipelines and encourage decommissioning of offshore oil and gas wells. I oppose new offshore oil leases and platforms along our precious coast. Job creation: I'm fighting to reduce bureaucratic red tape and overbearing government policies that drive businesses and the jobs they create to other states. We must do more to attract business and help entrepreneurs thrive. From hosting Veterans Resource Fairs to holding town halls focused on public safety, sober living homes and challenges facing our seniors, I fight to improve our communities and help our neighbors. • My public service includes: Mayor, Councilwoman, County Supervisor and co-founder of the California Women's Leadership Association. I'd be honored to receive your vote so we can continue working to protect the way of life we enjoy in coastal Orange and San Diego counties. Learn more at www.BatesforSenate.com STATE SENATE 36th District MARGGIE CASTELLANO Businesswoman/Environmental Advocate I am not a career politician. For me, public service is about solving problems, building consensus and getting things done. It's about common sense and moving California forward -it's not about politics or division -but rather delivering results for people, regardless of their political affiliation. My professional background uniquely prepares me to be a California State Senator. As an international businesswoman, I have successfully collaborated with clients around the world. As a documentary film producer working for National Geographic Television, among others, I have witnessed melting glaciers, Amazon rainforest destruction, and El Niflo's ruinous effects. I see similar alarming trends here. That's why as State Senator, my priorities are to: Protect our air and water by stopping offshore oil drilling, removing nuclear waste stored at San Onofre, and investing more in clean, renewable energy Build a strong emergency alert system to prepare our communities for extreme weather events, including hiring more firefighters, and instituting the latest in public safety technology to save lives Create an economy that works for everyone, with more good paying middle class jobs, job-training and vocational education opportunities Make healthcare more affordable and accessible, while lowering prescription drug costs Invest more in local neighborhood schools while making higher education more accessible and affordable Integrity, hard work, innovation, and collaboration are the values I will bring to the Senate.

Tasha has the experience, temperament, and track record needed to get good things done for our district and ensure we are getting our fair share from Sacramento. Tasha is a local City Councilmember, businesswoman, and former PT A leader who got her start in public service when she fought to get a stop sign installed near her kids' school.

I am committed to being a voice for people-not special interests. Taxpayers are being nickel and dimed into poverty and it must stop before we lose our middle class. Hardworking people deserve to have something to show for it. Our children deserve a future. Education, healthcare, senior and veterans' services, small businesses, public safety and infrastructure all suffer from a lack of funding-even as we pay some of the highest taxes in America. We need responsible government. We need lower taxes for working families. And we need legislators who understand they answer to us-not the other way around. As a journalist I've written about the changing economy and the struggles of working people. As the daughter of a veteran, and a mom I lost to cancer, I understand the challenges of navigating the system and managing on limited resources. I want to do better for our seniors and veterans. My husband is over 65 and our kids are grown-and I still clip coupons. I understand the sacrifices every parent makes, and I want to lessen the load for other families. My experience with a system that seemed stacked against working people is what motivated me to spend years advocating for change. I've lobbied from Sacramento to Washington D.C. for responsible public policy. As your State Assemblymember I will work to make our communities stronger and our lives better.

My years presiding over numerous preliminary hearings from the bench in military court further demonstrate my unparalleled qualifications.

Before being elected judge, I practiced law for 37 years, mostly handling constitutional and civil rights litigation. As one of the few judges in San Diego County that did not work for a government agency, I have a different perspective than most judges. My Bachelors degree is from the University of California at San Diego, and I am a graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law. Since being sworn in, I have handled criminal, civil, small claims, traffic, and unlawful detainer (eviction) cases, handling over 50,000 eviction and civil cases since 2014. All parties to all cases deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I insist upon that in my courtroom. It is important to listen to the parties, to allow them to be heard, and to explain the decisions that are handed down. This has earned me the support of a number of judges. As a judge, I have always been fair and guided by the law. And I pledge to always defend our rights under the Constitution.

As your Mayor, I am committed to - Preserving our unique Carlsbad lifestyle. I will protect our coastal quality of life, expand open spaces, and ensure local control over decisions that impact our future. Enforcing the Growth Management Plan.

I have successfully secured regional transportation funds to widen 1-5 and SR78 and improve freeway interchanges. Continuing to manage city finances prudently. Unlike some cities, we have controlled the cost of public employee pensions and built prudent budget reserves, so we can provide exceptional public safety and other city services for residents. Attracting and retaining quality businesses. Clean, sustainable businesses contribute to a vibrant economy and a healthy tax base -and provide good paying jobs for residents.

MEASURE A PROPOSED "CLEAN-UP" AMENDMENTS TO THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CHARTER Shall the Charter of the County of San Diego be amended for purposes of making "clean-up" amendments including amendments necessary to assure compliance with state and federal laws? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument in favor. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. If approved by a majority of the voters voting on the measure, this measure will amend the San Diego County Charter to "clean-up" several sections of the Charter to bring them into conformance with state and federal laws and to accurately reflect the administrative structure of the County. This measure will change timelines respecting elections which may be held in filling vacancies on the Board of Supervisors. The changes will bring the timelines into compliance with Federal and State laws setting forth timing requirements for the mailing of military and overseas ballots. This measure will also amend the Charter to recognize the Fire Authority as an organizational unit within the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer. PR-CWO1-1 N SD 275-031 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE A Measure A makes "clean-up" changes to the County Charter The San Diego County Charter establishes the structure of County government, and defines how County government operates in order to best serve the County's residents. Any change to the Charter must be approved by the voters of San Diego County. A review by County officials identified several outdated provisions in the County Charter. Since the last "clean-up" revisions in the Charter in 2006, there have been changes to federal and state law and other modifications affecting County government operations that have rendered several provisions of the County Charter outdated. Those provisions need to be revised. Measure A will update and preserve the accuracy of the County Charter Among provisions in need of amendments is an addition that references the San Diego County Fire Authority in the organizational structure of the County. The San Diego County Fire Authority was established in 2008 to support the delivery of high quality emergency medical and fire services to a 1.5 million-acre area of unincorporated San Diego County. Since it has been 12 years since the last "clean-up" of the County Charter the County Fire Authority should be referenced. Measure A's proposed revisions do not alter the substantive meaning of any Charter provision. An additional provision proposed to be updated in the County Charter would modify election timelines to permit compliance with federal and state legal requirements. For example, the current timelines for filling a vacancy on the Board of Supervisors do not provide sufficient time for the Registrar of Voters to meet legal requirements, such as mailing of military and overseas ballots. These proposed changes will keep San Diego County's Charter up-to-date and accurate! Please join us in voting Yes on Al Kristin Gaspar Chairwoman San Diego County Board of Supervisors Dianne Jacob Vice-Chairwoman San Diego County Board of Supervisors ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE A No argument against the measure was filed in the office of the Registrar of Voters. PR-CWO1-2 N SD 27S-032 I FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING "CLEAN-UP" CHANGES TO SEVERAL CHARTER SECTIONS IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego pursuant to California Constitution, Art. XI, sections 3(a) and 3(b) and Articles 2 and 3 (commencing at section 23720) of Chapter 5, Division 1, Title 3 of the Government Code, that the Charter of the County of San Diego (San Diego County Charter) be amended by revising sections 401.4, 703 and 703.6 as set forth herein, and that the proposed amendments be submitted to the eligible registered voters in San Diego County for approval or rejection at a special election to be consolidated with the statewide general election to be held on November 6, 2018 in San Diego County, State of California. IT IS PROPOSED by the Board of Supervisors that the San Diego County Charter be amended by revising sections 401.4, 703 and 703.6 to read as follows: Section 401.4: In the event a vacancy occurs in the office of supervisor, the remaining members of the Board shall within thirty (30) days of the vacancy fill the vacancy either by appointment for the unexpired term, by appointment until the qualification of a successor elected at a special election or by calling a special election. If the remaining members of the Board fail to fill the vacancy within such thirty (30) day period, the remaining members of the Board shall immediately cause a special election to be held to fill such vacancy. A special election to fill a vacancy in the office of Supervisor shall consist of a special primary election and if necessary, a special general election. A special primary election shall be held in the Supervisorial district in which the vacancy occurred on a Tuesday, at least 76 days, but not more than 90 days, following the adoption of the resolution calling the special election, except that any such special primary election may be conducted within 180 days following the adoption of such resolution in order that the special primary election or special general election may be consolidated with the next regularly scheduled statewide election. Candidates at the special primary election shall be nominated in the manner set forth in the Elections Code for the nomination of candidates for a nonpartisan office for a direct primary election, except that nomination papers shall not be circulated prior to the adoption of the resolution calling the special election and shall be filed with the Registrar of Voters for examination no later than 14 days after the adoption of the resolution calling the special primary election. If only one candidate qualifies for the special primary election, that candidate shall be appointed to the vacancy by the remaining members of the Board for the unexpired term, shall serve exactly as if elected to such vacancy, and no special primary election or special general election to fill the vacancy shall be held. A candidate who receives a majority of all votes in the special primary election is elected to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term, and no special general election shall be held. In the event there are no more than two candidates for a vacancy, the office shall be voted upon at the special primary election, and no special general election shall be held. When no candidate receives a majority of all votes in the special primary election, a special general election shall be held on the twelfth Tuesday after the date of the special primary election. The two candidates who received the highest number of votes in the special primary election shall be the candidates in the special general election, and the one who receives the higher number of votes in the special general election is elected to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. Write-in candidates are permitted to participate in the special primary election in accordance with state general law. However, no write-in candidates are permitted to participate in the special general election. PR-CWO1-3 N SD 275-033 FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) In a special election to fill a vacancy in the office of supervisor, the Board may authorize either the special primary election or the special general election, or both, to be conducted wholly by mail, provided that the special primary election or the special general election to be conducted by mail does not occur on the same date as the statewide election with which it has been consolidated. In no event may a special primary election or a special general election be conducted on the day after a state holiday. Section 703: Chief Administrative Officer. The Chief Administrative Officer exercises the Board's administrative supervision over affairs of the County delegated to that officer, over all organizational units within the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, and over all departments, except the Civil Service Commission and the offices of Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk, District Attorney, Sheriff, and the Treasurer/Tax Collector. The Fire Authority is an organizational unit within the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, not a department. The Chief Administrative Officer is responsible to the Board for the proper administration of such affairs of the County. Section 703.6: For assistance in carrying out official duties, the Chief Administrative Officer may call upon officers and employees in departments or organizational units under the Chief Administrative Officer's supervision, so long as that assistance falls within the legally authorized scope of their activities. PR-CWO1-4 N SD 275-034 l COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO {This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE B PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CHARTER ENTITLED "PRESERVING BALANCED REPRESENTATION IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY" Should the Charter of San Diego County be amended to direct a redistricting commission to maintain the current practice of establishing representative boundaries where at least three Board of Supervisor districts include unincorporated territory, with two of the districts having area predominately outside incorporated cities, as population will permit? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument in favor. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. If approved by a majority of the voters voting on the measure, this measure will amend the San Diego County Charter related to redistricting the supervisorial districts. The San Diego County Charter currently requires the Board of _Superviso:-' _to reapportion the supervisorial districts every ten years. The Charter also requires the d1stnct boundaries be drawn such that the area of at least two districts is substantially outside the City of San Diego. This Measure will require a redistricting commission authorized by state law to reapportion the supervisorial districts every ten years rather than the Board of Supervi_soi:5. The Measure will also require the district boundaries be drawn such that at least two d_1stncts are predominantly outside of all incorporated cities rather than just the City of San Diego. The Measure will also add a requirement that the district boundaries be drawn such that at least three districts include unincorporated area. PR-CWO1-5 N SD 275-035 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR.OF MEASURE B Preserving Balanced Representation in Unincorporated Areas of San Diego County The San Diego County Charter establishes the structure of County government, and defines how County government operates in order to best serve the County's residents. This proposed change to the County Charter is designed to ensure that any resident of this region, whether they live in a city or in the unincorporated area, will have their voice heard and their interests fairly represented on the Board of Supervisors. A diverse county requires equal representation of communities on the Board of Supervisors The County of San Diego is over 4,000 square miles with over 3.3 million residents calling our great county home. The five elected officials who represent the over 3.3 million county residents on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors are selected from individual districts whose bounda~es are ad/ust~ every ten years following the federal census. Over 500,000 of these residents reside In unincorporated areas. Charter change preserves equal representation Currently all five districts include major urban cities and four of these districts include unincorporated area with two of the districts having area that is predominately outside the incorporated cities. This Charter amendment would mirror existing practice as it relates to the representative make-up of supervisorial district lines and establish it as a protected policy once placed in the County Charter.

XI, sections 3(a) and 3(b) and Articles 2 and 3 (commencing at section 23720) of Chapter 5, Division 1, Title 3 of the Government C~e. that ~e Charter of the County of San Diego (San Diego County Charter) be amende~ by revising s~c!Ion 400.1 as set forth herein, and that the proposed amendments be submitted to the ehg1ble registered voters in San Diego County for approval or rejection at a special election t~ be consolidated with the statewide general election to be held on November 6, 2018 in San Diego County, State of California.

PR-CWO1-7 N SD 275-037 COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE C PROPOSED SAN DIEGO COUNTY CHARTER AMENDMENT ENTITLED "PROTECTING GOOD GOVERNMENT THROUGH SOUND FISCAL PRACTICES" Should the Charter of San Diego County be amended to require pension stabilization funds be used solely for pension-related liabilities and prohibit using long-term obligations to finance current operations or recurring needs? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument in favor. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. If approved by a majority of the voters voting on the measure, this measure will amend the San Diego County Charter related to pension stabilization and use of long-term debt proceeds. The San Diego County Charter currently requires the preparation and adoption of the County of San Diego's budget to be governed by general law and the Charter. This Measure will add two restrictions upon future budgets. The first restriction will provide that once the Board of Supervisors has appropriated funds for pension stabilization, the funds can be used only on pension-related liabilities as defined therein. The second restriction will prohibit using long-term debt proceeds for recurring operational needs. PR-CWO1-8 N SD 275--038 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C Yes on C: Protecting Good Government Practices The San Diego County Charter establishes the structure of County government, and defines how County government operates in order to best serve the County's residents. Any change to the Charter must be approved by the voters of San Diego County. This is YOUR opportunity to preserve sound fiscal policies into the future The County of San Diego has gone through a transformation over nearly three decades, from a government on the brink of bankruptcy to a fiscally sound entity that strategically plans for current and future needs while maintaining a AAA credit rating. The Board of Supervisors has a responsibility to safeguard County finances on behalf of taxpayers. The Board has strengthened the County's financial policies and is asking the voters to further strengthen two of the policies by including them in the County Charter. Placing fiscal protections into the County Charter is the most efficient way to protect these policies as any ordinance could be changed by a simple majority of the Board of Supervisors. This addition to the Charter would protect it and only the voters of San Diego County can remove it. Pension Stabilization Funds should be used solely for pension-related liabilities. Measure C amends the County Charter to require pension stabilization funds be used solely for pension-related liabilities. Measure C would also prohibit the County from using money from long-term debt to pay for current operations or recurring needs. Both of these sound fiscal proposals have been instrumental in creating and maintaining the County's strong financial position. "It remains crucial for our community that funds dedicated to managing and paying off our pension debt are utilized directly for those purposes."

PR-CW01-9 N SD 275-039 FULL TEXT OF MEASURE C RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO ENTITLED "PROTECTING GOOD GOVERNMENT THROUGH SOUND FISCAL PRACTICES" IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego pursuant to California Constitution, Art. XI, sections 3(a) and 3(b) and Articles 2 and 3 (commencing at section 23720) of Chapter 5, Division 1, Title 3 of the Government Code, that the Charter of the County of San Diego (San Diego County Charter) be amended by adding sections 800.1 and 800.2 as set forth herein, and that the proposed amendments be submitted to the eligible registered voters in San Diego County for approval or rejection at a special election to be consolidated with the statewide general election to be held on November 6, 2018 in San Diego County, State of California. IT IS PROPOSED by the Board of Supervisors that section 800.1 and 800.2 be added to the San Diego County Charter to read as follows: Section 800.1: Pension Stabllizatlon. Once the Board of Supervisors has appropriated funds for pension stabilization, these funds shall not be used for any purpose other than pension-related liabilities. Pension-related liabilities shall include, but are not limited to any liability associated with a defined benefit, defined contribution or other post-employment benefit. Section 800.2: Debt Proceeds of any long-term obligation of the General Fund of the County shall not be used for recurring operational needs. PR-CWO1-10 N SD 275--040 COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURED INITIATIVE MEASURE PROPOSING CHARTER AMENDMENTS REQUIRING ALL ELECTIONS FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY ELECTIVE OFFICES TO BE HELD AT A GENERAL ELECTION AND REQUIRING ADOPTION OF LOCAL REGULATIONS RELATING TO WRITE-IN CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY ELECTIVE OFFICE Shall this initiative measure, proposing county charter amendments requiring all elections for San Diego County elective Offices to be held at a general election and requiring adoption of local regulations relating to write-in candidates for county elective office, be adopted? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the arguments and rebuttals. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by a petition signed by the requisite number of voters. If approved by a majority of the voters voting on the measure, this measure will amend the San Diego County Charter related to electing County elective officers. The San Diego County Charter currently establishes a process for electing members of the Board of Supervisors and another process for electing the other County elective officers, namely District Attorney, Sheriff, Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk, Treasurer/Tax Collector and Members of the County Board of Education. This measure would establish the same process for all County elective offices and would make the following changes to the process: PR-CWO1-1 • Currently all candidates for County elective office are placed on the primary ballot. This measure provides if two or fewer candidates qualify for a contest, including write-in candidates, they will be placed on the general ballot and not the primary. • This measure requires the County to establish rules governing qualifying as a write-in candidate will be changed to ensure the qualification date precedes printing of primary ballot. These rules would be inconsistent with state election laws. • This measure provides if more than two candidates qualify for a contest, including write-in candidates, they will be placed on the primary ballot. • Currently, if a candidate receives a majority of the votes cast in a contest at the primary election, that candidate is elected. This measure will remove that provision and require the two candidates with the most votes will move on to the general election, even if one candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. • Currently write-in candidates are not allowed to participate in a general election. This measure will allow write-in candidate names to be printed on the general election ballot when one or two write-in candidates qualify to participate in a primary election contest with two or fewer total candidates in the contest. N SD 275-041 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURED MEASURED ENSURES ELECTIONS FOR SHERIFF, DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND COUNTY SUPERVISOR ARE DECIDED IN NOVEMBER, WHEN THE MOST PEOPLE VOTE MEASURE D ENSURES COUNTY LEADERS ARE ELECTED BY A MAJORITY OF VOTERS • The County's current election system allows candidates to win an election in primaries, with votes from a small fraction of their constituency, when as few as 30 percent of voters cast ballots. Measure D ensures final decisions are made in November general elections, when as many as 80 percent of voters cast ballots. MEASURED MAKES COUNTY OFFICIALS MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS • One of the reasons many San Diego County elected officials have been in office for over two decades is they are frequently re-elected in very low-turnout primary elections. Measure D will promote more competitive elections and ensure officials are more accountable to all their constituents. MEASURED MAKES COUNTY ELECTIONS CONSISTENT WITH STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS • Measure D uses the same top-two runoff process we use to elect the Governor, state legislators, and members of Congress, eliminating confusion caused by using a different process for County elections. MEASURE D GIVES VOTERS -NOT SPECIAL INTERESTS -POWER TO CHOOSE COUNTY LEADERS • The County's current system gives political parties and special interests -with the power of their money and endorsements -more influence in the primary election, and leaves many voters out of the process. • Measure D returns power to the voters and ensures that County leaders are elected by the majority of their constituents. MEASURE D INCREASES TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR ELECTION PROCESS • Democracy functions best when the most voters participate, and that is in November. THAT'S WHY MEASURE D IS ENDORSED BY COMMUNITY LEADERS, ELECTION EXPERTS AND GOOD GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES.

PR-CWO1-2 N SD 275-042 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE D Protect Taxpayers and Streamline the Election System An unbiased analysis by County Counsel presented to the Board of Supervisor on August 7, 2018 found alarming problems with Measure D. Measure D wastes critical tax dollars by requiring a second election even if a candidate decisively defeats multiple opponents. The analysis determined that Measure D would cost taxpayers up to $400,000 with each redundant second election. A superior measure will be placed on the 2020 ballot that strikes a balance between expanding voter participation and safeguarding tax dollars. Voters have a chance to get this right in 2020. Put Voters First, not Special Interests Measure D was backed and financed by special interests that want to control County elections and erode the County's strict fiscal policies. Measure D failed to secure sufficient signatures to get on the ballot, so special interests went to their friends in Sacramento for hasty legislation to change the rules. Special interests then went to a judge to bypass the election rules again and place Measure D on the 2018 ballot. Voters should not stand for disingenuous scheming and unscrupulous tactics. Measure D Illegally Prevents Write-In Candidates from Running The unbiased analysis found that Measure D ·would prohibit write-in candidates in contests with no more than two candidates ... • and • ... if passed, would likely not survive a legal challenge." In contrast, the 2020 ballot measure "would address the write-in issue by amending the Charter to allow write-in candidates in the general election .. ." Rather than enhancing elections, Measure D prevents every voice from being heard at the ballot box. Please join us in protecting taxpayers by voting NO on DI Dianne Jacob Vice-Chairwoman San Diego County Board of Supervisors PR-CWO1-3 Bill Horn Supervisor, 5th District San Diego County Board of Supervisors N SD 275-G43 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURED Long-time incumbents want to protect their Interests, not the public Interest. The two opponents who signed the argument against Measure D have -combined -been on the Board of Supervisors for nearly 50 years. They benefited from a system that gives them -as incumbents -a significant advantage in primary elections, when as little as 30% of voters participate. Not surprisingly, they and the special interests who support them want to keep it that way, filing multiple lawsuits in an unsuccessful effort to deny residents an opportunity to vote on this important election reform. Measure D aligns the County election system with local, state and federal systems. Contrary to the deceptive claims made by opponents, Measure D establishes for County elections a top-two election process already used for Governor, Congress, state legislature and other state and federal elections and for local elections in the City of San Diego. This system has proven to be fair and ensures decisions about the most important elective offices will be made when the most voters participate -up to 80% of registered voters -in November general elections. Opponents' "unbiased analysis" was prepared under their direction by their attorneys. There's nothing independent or unbiased about the analysis referenced by opponents. Actual results in the thousands of elections conducted with top-two runoff elections shows no significant increase in costs, but a huge increase in the number of voters participating. Our nation's founders believed that Democracy functions best when the most voters participate. Vote YES on Measure D -for Democracy.

TITLE. This charter amendment shall be known as the Full Voter Participation Act of 2018. SECTION 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS A. In the last 20 years, voter participation in primary elections has been significantly lower than general elections. This has resulted in a situation where too few voters are choosing who will represent them in County elective office. B. Democracy functions best when the most voters participate in the election process. High-stakes candidate elections in the County of San Diego should take place when the most citizens are likely to vote. This means that regular County elections should be decided in November when as many as 80 percent of voters cast ballots, rather than in June when as few as 20 percent of voters cast ballots. C. The policy of electing County officials at primary and other low-turnout elections undermines full voter participation in County elections. There have been a number of recent primary elections in our County where candidates were elected when as few as 20 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. D. By requiring competitive candidate elections to occur at the general election, this measure will help ensure that County officials are elected when a much larger percentage of the electorate participates. SECTION 3. PURPOSE AND INTENT. In enacting this charter amendment, it is the purpose and intent of the people of the County of San Diego County to: A. Ensure that regular elections for the offices of County Supervisor, District Attorney, Sheriff, Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, Treasurer-Tax Collector and Members of the County Board of Education are decided at the general election. B. Comply with state law which authorizes the County charter to be amended in this manner. SECTION 4. CHARTER AMENDMENT Section 400.5: For purposes of this Article, "elective office" means any of the following offices: (1) County supervisor: PR-CWO1-5 (2) District Attorney: (3) Sheriff: (4) Assessor, recorder, and county clerk: (5) Treasurer and tax collector: (6) Member of the County Board of Education.

Candidates at the special primary election shall be nominated in the manner set forth in the Elections Code for the nomination of candidates for a nonpartisan office for a direct primary election, except that nomination papers shall not be circulated prior to the adoption of the resolution calling the special election and shall be filed with the Registrar of Voters for examination not less than 43 days before the special primary election. If only one candidate qualifies for the special primary election, that candidate shall be appointed to the vacancy by the remaining members of the Board for the unexpired term, shall serve exactly as if elected to such vacancy, and no special primary election or special general election to fill the vacancy shall be held.

When no candidate receives a majority of all votes in the special primary election, a special general election shall be held on the fourth Tuesday after the special primary election.

Bonds -Yes Bonds -No This measure requires approval by 55% of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument in favor. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the governing board of the Carlsbad Unified School District ("District"). This measure, if approved by 55% of the votes cast on the measure, will authorize the District to issue and sell $265,000,000 in general obligation bonds. The sale of these bonds by the District is for the purpose of raising money for the District, and represents a debt of the District. In exchange for the money received from bondholders, the District promises to pay the bondholders an amount of interest for a certain period of time, and to repay the bonds on the expiration date. Voter approval of this measure will also authorize an annual tax to be levied upon the taxable property within the District. The purpose of this tax is to generate sufficient revenue to pay interest on the bonds as it becomes due and to provide a fund for payment of the principal on or before maturity. Proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure may be used by the District for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities. The interest rate on any bond, which is established at the time of bond issuance, could not exceed 12% per annum. The final maturity date of any bond could be no later than 40 years after the date the bonds are issued, as determined by the District. The tax authorized by this measure is consistent with the requirements of the California Constitution. The California Constitution permits property taxes, above the standard 1% limitation, to be levied upon real property to pay the interest and redemption charges on any bonded indebtedness for, among other things, the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, when approved by 55% of the voters if: (1) the proceeds from the sale of the bonds are used only for the purposes specified, (2) the District evaluates safety, class size reduction, and information technology needs to approve a list of specific projects to be funded, PR-1307-1 N SD 275--048 COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) (3) the District conducts an annual, independent performance audit to ensure funds have been expended on the specific projects listed, and (4) the District conducts an annual, independent financial audit of bond proceeds. Additionally, if the bond measure is approved, state law requires the District to establish an independent citizens' oversight committee. The District has made this ballot measure subject to these legal requirements. Approval of this measure does not guarantee that the specific projects listed by the District will be funded by the sale of the bonds. A "YES" vote is a vote in favor of authorizing the District to issue and sell $265,000,000 in general obligation bonds. A "NO" vote is a vote against authorizing the District to issue and sell $265,000,000 in general obligation bonds. PR-1307-2 N SD 275-049 TAX RATE STATEMENT An election will be held in the Carlsbad Unified School District (the "District") on November 6, 2018, to authorize the sale of up to $265,000,000 in bonds of the District to finance school facilities as described in the proposition. If the bonds are approved, the District expects to issue the bonds in multiple series over time. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following information is provided in compliance with Sections 9400 through 9405 of the California Elections Code. 1. The best estimate of the average annual tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is between 3 cents and 3.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The final fiscal year in which the tax to be levied to fund this bond issue is anticipated to be collected is fiscal year 2052-53. 2. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue, based"on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is between 3 cents and 3.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2019-20. 3. The best estimate of the total debt service, including the principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all of the bonds are issued and sold is approximately $456,813,940. Voters should note that the estimated tax rate is based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the County of San Diego official tax rolls, not on the property's market value. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon the District's projections and estimates only, which are not binding upon the District. The actual tax rates, debt service and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimate, due to variations from these estimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuation over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on need for construction funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.

Keeping Voter Rolls Up to Date To keep the roster Qf registered voters as accurate as possible and reduce election costs, the San Diego County Registrar of Voters may use a process known as 'Alternate Residency Confirmation.• This process permits removal from the active voter roll the names of those registered voters who have NOT voted, signed a petition or updated their registration in the preceding four (4) years. If the Registrar elects to use this process, this is how it would look: • Following the November 6, 2018 General Election, registered voters who have not voted and residence address, name or party preference has not been updated during the last four (4) years, are mailed a postcard notice asking them to confirm their residency. • The notice includes a pre-addressed postage-paid return card. This card MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED to the Registrar of Voters by the voter if he or she wants to remain on the active voter roll. • If the card is not returned in 15 days or is returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable, the voter's registration will be moved to the inactive voter roll. • Registrants on the inactive voter roll CAN STILL VOTE, however they are not sent election materials -saving taxpayer dollars -and may be required to show proof of current residency in order to vote in future elections. This notice is a legal prerequisite to using the 'Alternate Residency Confirmation• process (California Elections Code Section 2224c).
