Would you like to learn more about the state races and propositions on your ballot while enjoying free food and friendly conversations?
CalMatters, a nonprofit, nonpartisan statewide news organization, is hosting a VotingMatters event from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 2216 17th St. in Bakersfield.
CalMatters staff will walk you through the California propositions and the races (such as governor and insurance commissioner) so you can feel well-informed to vote in the Nov. 3 election.
Pizza and salad will be served. The event is free and open to the public, but CalMatters seeks RSVPs to know how many people to expect. RSVP link: https://bit.ly/4hJ8ee9.
CalMatters has also produced a voter guide, available at https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2026/.
