Shall the San Mateo County Charter be amended so that each member of the Board of Supervisors will cease to be elected by an at-large vote of all the voters in the County but is instead elected only by the voters of his or her district?

A YES vote on this measure means:: A "yes" vote on this measure would amend Section 202 of the San Mateo County Charter such that each member of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors would be elected by district rather than at large.
A NO vote on this measure means:: A "no" vote on this measure would leave Section 202 of the San Mateo County Charter unchanged, keeping the at large election for members of the County Board of Supervisors.
