§ 21929 Ballot Proposal Format Requirements

• •Ballots must clearly explain what people are voting on, including how much money is involved.
• •Each voting option must have 'Yes' and 'No' with a space to mark your choice.
• •Small mistakes in how the ballot is written won’t cancel the election.

A town wants to build a new school and needs money, so they ask people to vote on it.

The ballot must say something like 'Should we spend $10 million to build a new school?' with 'Yes' and 'No' options for people to check. Even if the ballot has a tiny typo, the vote still counts.
