We are members of the Santa Barbara Craftivists, a group that combines our activism with our handcrafts. As a group, we donate both monetarily and with our heartfelt commitments and talents to nonprofits and other worthy causes. We meet weekly to discuss our projects and other topics pertinent to life here on the Central Coast.
This week we discussed the election on June 2, 2026, and the fact that various people and/or organizations are urging voters to vote early. We feel this is a mistake.
There is uncertainty around who the final gubernatorial candidates will be as, of the 61 names on the ballot, a number have already dropped out, and more may drop out before June 2. There is also confusion in the minds of some voters around the date-stamping of ballots by the U.S. Postal Service.
