43: that's how many ballot measures there are in SF
The whole state has 17 measures to vote on, and at most SoCal voters will have an extra six local ones. But SF has way more.
Sample Ballots for San Joaquin County are prepped for shipping. Each palate can carry thousands of ballots, which will be wrapped in cellophane.

The whole state has 17 measures to vote on, and at most SoCal voters will have an extra six local ones. But SF has way more.

Besides the next president, there are a lot of things to vote on this November. And we mean a lot.

There are 17 statewide ballot measures to vote on, and in San Francisco there's an extra 26 local and county measures, too.

By comparison, SoCal voters will have, at most, six more measures to decide depending on where they live.

Scott Shafer from the Bay Area's KQED joined Take Two to explain how they're keeping their heads straight around it all.
