A to Z: Monterey County voters decide on 23 measures Nov. 8.

Prepare for the election signs to start popping up in lawns and every bare patch of ground. 

Voters in Monterey County will decides on 23 different election measures at the Nov. 8 presidential election. 

There are six different school bonds (including for Hartnell College and Alisal Union School District in Salinas), and no fewer than six cannabis taxes.

There's one for the county overall, Measure Y, plus five other city-wide cannabis taxes on the ballot in Salinas, Del Rey Oaks, Gonzales, King City and Greenfield.

Countywide, voters will decide on Measure Z, a controversial initiative to ban fracking and wastewater injection, and to stop new oil development in unincorporated Monterey County. 

Marina voters will decide on whether to change the term of the mayor from two years to four, and also whether to update a business license tax. Soledad voters will decide whether to increase the hotel tax from 9 percent to 12 percent.

Voters in Pacific Grove will vote on an "admission tax," a 5-percent tax on facilities like golf courses and the Monterey Bay Aquarium (which straddles Monterey and P.G.), and applies to festival and marathon entry. It would generate an estimated $4 million a year in revenue.
