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. VOTE BY MAIL ]�C� 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" I 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. FP -02 -29 N SD 266 -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. �1 SDVOTE FP -02 -06 N SD 266 -002 IMPORTANT ELECTION INFORMATION 2- Card Ballot: In this election you will be issued a ballot that consists of 2 (two) cards containing all the contests for which you are eligible to vote.

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. "Diane has shown true leadership as a public servant including efforts to protect taxpayers and defend the middle class." Mayor Kevin Faulconer Visit: www.HarkeyforCongress.com UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 49th District MIKE LEVIN AGE: 39 Clean Energy Advocate 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 sustainable economic growth to maintain our quality of life. But our leaders in Washington DC are stuck in partisan gridlock. 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. As our next Congressmember, Mike Levin will work to make health care affordable and protect those with pre- existing conditions. Mike Levin will renew our nation's commitment to reducing global warming, oppose new offshore oil drilling, and clean up the toxic waste stored at San Onofre.

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.

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 Nino'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 PTA leader who got her start in public service when she fought to get a stop sign installed near her kids' school. She has a proven ability to cut through red tape, bring people together, and achieve tangible outcomes that improve our quality of life. That's why Tasha's campaign is being supported by an unprecedented coalition that includes local firefighters, sheriff deputies, teachers, business groups, and the Sierra Club. Over 50 elected leaders are also supporting Tasha, because they know she is the candidate best prepared to deliver results for Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, and Camp Pendleton. As our Assemblymember, Tasha Boerner Horvath will work to keep neighborhoods safe and maintain fast emergency response times; improve neighborhood schools and reduce the financial barriers to college; help San Diego County's businesses grow and create good jobs; and protect our beaches and keep our air and drinking water clean.

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.

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.

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- CW01 -1 N SD 266 -032 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 All 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- CW01 -2 N SD 266 -033 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- CW01 -3 N SD 266 -034 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- CW01 -4 N SD 266 -035 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 Supervisors to reapportion the supervisorial districts every ten years. The Charter also requires the district 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 Supervisors. The Measure will also require the district boundaries be drawn such that at least two districts 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- CW01 -5 N SD 266 -036 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 boundaries are adjusted 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. Will prevent residents of San Diego County from being disenfranchised Measure B maintains equal representation of all residents on the Board of Supervisors Please join us in voting Yes on B!

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 section 400.1 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 section 400.1 to read as follows: Section 400.1: Redistricting Commission. After each federal decennial census, the supervisorial districts of the County shall be reapportioned in the manner specified by general law by a redistricting commission established pursuant to the California Elections code. The supervisorial district boundaries shall be drawn in such a way that the area of at least three districts shall include unincorporated territory with two of the districts having geographic area that is predominantly outside of the incorporated cities as population will permit.

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- CW01 -8 N SD 266 -039 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.

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: • 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. PR- CW01 -1 N SD 266 -042 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE D MEASURE D 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. MEASURE D 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. MEASURE D 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.

PR- CW01 -2 N SD 266 -043 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 D! Dianne Jacob Vice - Chairwoman San Diego County Board of Supervisors Bill Horn Supervisor, 5t" District San Diego County Board of Supervisors PR- CW01 -3 N SD 266 -044 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE D 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 Democracv. www.moreSDvoters.org Todd Gloria Assembly Member Pam Slater -Price San Diego County Supervisor, 1992 -2013 Mel Katz Business Leader Dr. Kyra Greene Director, Center on Policy Initiatives Scott Barnett President, San Diego Taxpayers Advocate PR- CW01 -4 N SD 266 -045 FULL TEXT OF MEASURE D The People of the County of San Diego hereby enact the following: [4*" 11161k1511011111111 NP 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.

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.

CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS The State of California requires that all cities, as part of their General Plans, prepare and periodically update a legally adequate Housing Element and implement its programs. This Measure, also known as the Encinitas Housing Plan Update 2018, would adopt a revised 2013- 2021 Housing Element for the City of Encinitas. Specifically, the Measure would do the following: • Repeal the existing 1992 Housing Element and adopt the 2013 -2021 Housing Element, which analyzes the City's current and anticipated housing needs and sets out policies describing how these housing needs may be met; • Amend the General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and Local Coastal Program to create a new zoning overlay district in which sites can be developed at an increased density (25 to 30 dwelling units per net acre) with three -story buildings; • Amend the zoning code to define development standards for the new overlay district, including required setbacks, maximum average unit sizes, new height limits, and other aesthetic and design standards; • Amend the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan, Downtown Encinitas Specific Plan, and Encinitas Ranch Specific Plan to designate specific sites that can be developed at an increased density (25 to 30 dwelling units per net acre) with three -story buildings; and • Amend the General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and Local Coastal Program to change the zoning designation of one parcel, "Site L7" (APN 257 - 011- 17 -00), from Rural Residential 1 (RR1) to Residential 3 (R3). A "yes" vote is in favor of approving the new housing element and the other changes described above. A "no" vote is against approval. Approval requires a majority of the votes cast. PR- 09VO -1 N SD 266 -049 CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The Measure has been placed on the ballot by the Encinitas City Council pursuant to Proposition A (now a part of the Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 30.00). Proposition A states that "Major Amendments" to the City's land use planning policy documents must be approved by the City Council and may only take effect if approved by City voters. Portions of the Housing Plan Update 2018 consist of Major Amendments (e.g., increases to residential density and building height). These Major Amendments have been approved by the City Council but require voter approval to take effect. The Measure also includes "Regular Amendments" that do not require voter approval pursuant to Proposition A. The above statement is an impartial analysis of the Measure.

Glenn Sabine City Attorney City of Encinitas PR- 09VO -2 N SD 266 -050 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE U Vote YES on the Housing Plan Update 2018. This housing plan will provide opportunities for more attainable housing in Encinitas Many people who work in Encinitas are not able to afford to live here. This new housing will provide homes for our young families, seniors, newly graduated professionals, students, service workers, firefighters, teachers and healthcare workers. Also, these homes are for you as you move through the stages of life and for your adult children who currently cannot afford to live here. Under state law, every city is required to plan for housing that is affordable for all income levels. This Housing Plan Update 2018 will put us into compliance with state law and contribute to solving the housing shortage. This plan was developed in public, with significant community involvement. While not everyone will agree with every aspect of this plan, this is our city's best effort to provide a proposal for the community's consideration. This plan accommodates an additional 1,504 homes in Encinitas, adding about six percent to the more than 25,000 homes that we have here. This plan is a streamlined, narrowly drafted and straightforward proposal that complies with state law. The proposed sites for new housing are distributed throughout our city. A YES vote places our city on the path to end the housing lawsuits that have cost taxpayers more than $1 million in our multi -year struggle to adopt a housing plan. With passage, our city will then comply with state law and again be eligible for regional sales tax funding grants to reduce traffic congestion and improve our roads. A YES vote does not approve any specific project, as all projects remain subject to public review. A YES vote allows Encinitas to maintain its local land use control and your right to vote on upzoning. Please vote YES on the Housing Plan Update 2018.

The process leading to Measure U lacked candor and transparency. The City continually states that Prop. A acts as a "constraint." Measure U states: "Assuming that this Housing Element is approved in November 2018, the City will take actions to ensure that future Housing Elements can be adopted in a timely fashion and that requirements for a vote of the people do not constrain the City's compliance with State law." What are these "actions ?" This implies that the Prop. A Right to Vote is eliminated. Under Measure U, the method of measuring height allows the builder to increase the pad height from the original grade, which results in even taller buildings than allowed under Prop. A. Measure U is so flawed, one councilmember voted NO and refused to sign it. Mayor Blakespear claimed: "We heard that you don't want R30 to be $1 M condos, because that's not what we really need." Yet 85% of Measure U units will be those million - dollar condos, NOT the State - required affordable housing. The judge recently reconfirmed that there is significant case law supporting the people's right to vote. He made no threats against the City if Measure U fails — in contrast to the City's scare tactics of dire consequences. Measure U eliminates local control. It eliminates Prop. A protections. Imagine what the City would do without Prop. A Riaht to Vote protections? VOTE NO AND REJECT MEASURE U.

NULLIFIES PROP A by removing your vote on all future housing element updates. TRAFFIC CONGESTION increases are inevitable with up to 20,000 additional daily car trips, and PARKING will be even more challenging. BUILDING HEIGHT increases from the current 30 -foot limit to 37 feet PLUS 5 feet for rooftop equipment. AFFORDABLE UNITS not built will be added to the next Housing Element Update cycle, which will put the City on a perpetual treadmill of upzoning, but without a vote of the people. DEVELOPER INPUT incorporated into the plan was taken at unnoticed meetings not attended by the public, resulting in new design standards favorable to the builder not required by the state housing authority, and the last- minute addition of controversial properties on Piraeus, Clark, and Union streets. REMOVAL OF L7 site, City -owned and available for 100% affordable housing, caused a sever public split and even the City Council to disagree about its elimination. The state objected to its removal in a letter to the City. The L7 site will be upzoned in this measure to triple the site's density yet will not contribute to satisfying state affordability requirements. DEVELOPER LAWSUITS, despite dire predictions, have an uncertain outcome. The judge could stop the issuance of building permits until a plan is passed, impose a plan, or allow us another attempt to pass a plan. REGIONAL GRANTS are competitive to obtain and not guaranteed.

Sodomka Floriculturist Silvia Pezzoli Teacher in Encinitas PR- 09VO -5 N SD 266 -053 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE U Let's go back to the facts State housing laws require Encinitas to zone for higher densities than we currently have. (www.hcd.ca.gov) Measure U preserves your right to vote under PROP A. In fact, passage of this plan is the best way to keep a judge from nullifying that right. At a trial court hearing in April, the judge gave us another chance to vote for a plan that complies with state housing laws. This plan had input from many perspectives; most importantly from the people who live here. We heard your concerns about the previous housing plan, and have lowered the maximum height and decreased the total number of units, while still complying with state law. If passed, this plan would provide significantly more affordable units than we currently have. These smaller housing units will be for rent or sale at prices that new teachers, firefighters, nurses, police officers and retired seniors can afford. New projects will be required to help pay for long- overdue road improvements. Most of the parcels in this plan are located near major roads and public transit. VOTING YES ON THIS PLAN is your chance to stop spending millions of dollars defending lawsuits with an uncertain outcome. Voting YES allows Encinitas to control our own land use and protects our cherished community character. Vote YES on Measure U.

Keeping Voter Rolls Up to Date To keep the roster of 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). FP -02 -13 N SD 266 -055 PPLY NOW! ono L 1 ory.
