Editor:

The League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) has taken a neutral stance on Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, which will appear on the November ballot. As a nonpartisan organization, the league remains committed to empowering voters and defending democracy without aligning with political parties or candidates. While California’s redistricting process differs from those in many states, the LWVC recognizes the importance of staying aligned with leagues nationwide as other states challenge unfair maps in court. Because of this, the LWVC — and by extension, the League of Women Voters of Humboldt County — has chosen neutrality on Proposition 50.

The league believes the best way to protect democracy is to encourage voter participation. The LWVC is committed to ensuring all Californians have access to nonpartisan, factual election information in their native languages. The LWVHC supports this position and urges everyone to stay informed and vote.
