Background

This is the ranked choice vote for the GPCA to take a position Proposition 32: Political Contributions by Payroll Deduction Prohibitions on Contributions to Candidates Initiative Statute

The choices are to rank 'endorse', 'oppose', 'no position' and/or 'abstain'. Delegates can rank as many (or as few) of these options in their order of preference.

An 'endorse' vote would mean the GPCA would endorse Proposition 32. An 'oppose' vote means the GPCA would oppose Proposition 32. A 'no position' vote means the GPCA would not take a position on Proposition 32. An 'abstain' vote means the voter is not expressing a preference, but is voting to help achieve quorum. Any of these position that receives 2/3 after all preferences are transferred is the position of the party. If neither 'endorse' nor 'opposes' receive 2/3, the GPCA's position will be 'no position'.
