This slide deck is designed to provide basic information about congressional districts, the selection process and purpose. The powerpoint also includes nonpartisan information regarding Proposition 50, including what it is and the ins and outs of the Proposition. The content was developed by the League of Women Voters of Stanislaus County and is based on the information provided in the Easy Voter Guide. The League hopes that this information will be useful to voters for the November 4th election.
