The question on your ballot

Shall the San Mateo County Charter be amended to add a provision to the Charter Preamble affirming the County's commitment to the dignity, civil rights, and equal protection of all County residents?

In plain language

Measure AA would change the San Mateo County Charter. The charter is the county's basic set of rules. The change adds new words to the opening part of the charter, called the preamble. The new words state the county's commitment to the dignity, civil rights, and equal protection of all county residents. A YES vote adds this statement to the charter. A NO vote means the charter is not changed.
