AirTalk’s Ballot Cram Session LIVE - A Voter Game Plan Event

Election day is just around the corner, with vote-by-mail ballots on the way to homes next month. We know it’s not always easy to navigate these propositions on your own. The good news is there’s still time to study up. Get your notepads and pencils ready — it’s time for a one-hour cram session.

Larry Mantle (he/him) and a panel of expert guests walk you through the basics of all of the state-wide props: what they are, the pros and cons, and what’s at stake. They’ll also tackle the proposal to expand the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors from five members to nine.
