Nov. 5, 2024, General Election Endorsements
Santa Barbara Independent Presents
Its Picks for National, State, and
Local Races and Ballot Measures
By Indy Staff | October 3, 2024
Voters will begin receiving their election ballots next week, before the Indy has finished pondering each of the races and each of the candidates. We offer here a preliminary list of the individuals and issues that we’re confident about. The list does not hold all races and candidates, by any means; a more comprehensive list will run in the coming weeks, and so too will our usual explanations of our choices.
Election ballots will be mailed starting October 7, elections officials say, and some could take a week or two to reach mailboxes. If you are registered and don’t have your ballot within that time span, you can call the elections office at 1-800-SBC-VOTE (1-800-722-8683) for help.
Stay tuned for the next couple of weeks, when we’ll complete our look at candidates, measures, and propositions.
