Due to the transfer from an even-numbered district to an odd-numbered one, Butte County voters will wait until 2024 to vote for a new state senator; that it is 6 years since we last voted for this office in 2018.  This is the situation of the Deferred Voter -- a normal part of redistricting when districts are on staggered election cycles.  For more details, see the LWVC flyer on " Deferred and Accelerated Voters".
