Dear Orange County Voter:

Thank you for your interest in our Special District Initiative/Referendum Handbook. This handbook has been designed to assist you in the process of initiating and circulating petitions.

This handbook is intended to provide general information and does not have the force and effect of law. It is distributed with the understanding that the Registrar of Voters of the County of Orange is not rendering legal advice and, therefore, the handbook is not to be a substitute for legal counsel for the individual or organization using it.

We strongly recommend that any interested party obtain legal advice, to assist in complying with applicable California laws, including the California Elections Code and the California Government Code.
