While everyone may be having their coconut-Kamala-Brat summer or etching Trump’s name into their fields, at Fresnoland, we only have eyes for the races that matter most to us: what’s on the ballot for Fresno County voters.
Locally, there’s several local taxes and school bonds – in addition to several candidates set to represent city councils, the board of supervisors, and school districts. (There’s other races for local water and utilities districts we haven’t listed here. For the full list of what’s qualified for the ballot, visit the Fresno County elections website.)
If you’re not registered to vote yet, you have until October 21. To register, or check your status, visit the California Secretary of State’s website here.
