Election Day is fast approaching, so here’s what you need to know before you begin to fill out your ballot on Nov. 6.
Aside from choosing between another four years with Democratic incumbent Barack Obama, or electing Republican challenger Mitt Romney as the next new president, California voters have a long list of local representatives and measures to choose from.
In Los Angeles County, many Democratic incumbents face new Republican challengers, but redrawn districts have placed the Democrats with a strong advantage.
With 11 state measures on a crowded ballot, the propositions with the most attention are Proposition 30 and 38, both proposing increased funding for education through higher taxes.
Remember, Tuesday, Nov. 6 is Election Day.
