The question on your ballot

Shall the measure amending the City of San Mateo's Charter to reflect the City's current district-based election system, update the process for scheduling Council meetings and filling Council vacancies, update or remove obsolete provisions, and make other technical and conforming changes, be adopted?

In plain language

Measure F would change the City of San Mateo Charter. The charter is the city's main set of rules. A YES vote updates the charter to match the city's current system of electing council members by district. It also updates how Council meetings are scheduled and how empty Council seats are filled. It updates or removes old rules and makes other technical changes. A NO vote means these changes do not happen.
