June 7, 2022, Election
New This Year -- All Statements Must Be Printed in English & Spanish
Due to the fact that Sonoma County was recently designated a bilingual county by the federal government, all candidate Statements of Qualifications published in the County Voter Information Guide are required to be in both English and Spanish. As a result, the less expensive "English only" cost category has been removed.
