The requirement, by law, is a 2/3rd yes vote from the ballots cast from the registered voters - registered with an address of a parcel subject to the proposed special tax.  Only ballots returned count – so, it is 2/3rds of the total ballots returned not ballots initially mailed out. Property owners and renters not registered to vote at an address subject to the tax will not receive a ballot.  This is as prescribed by law – the Fire District does not have an option regarding voting requirements for the proposed Fire Community Facilities District.  Please visit the website for the County of Lake Registrar of Voters (https://www.lakecountyca.gov/818/Registrar-of-Voters) for voter registration information.
