#SacramentoCounty
uses an exclusionary, undemocratic & stupidly expensive election process that routinely cuts out ✂️ 100's of 1,000's of voters We can make a change. By adopting

we could empower voters, open doors to diverse candidates & save County đź’° for vital services

3 out of every 4 races for Sacramento's city council are decided in the Primary Election in the Spring... Why is that bad? Because very few people vote in the Primary! People show up to vote in the Fall but Sac's already crowned a winner in the Spring! They've been cut out of the process
