Orange County residents go to the polls today to decide the fate of seven statewide initiatives and several local races.
The most closely watched initiatives are Proposition 172, the half-cent sales tax to be earmarked for law enforcement, and Proposition 174, the school voucher initiative, which would give parents of all school-age children a voucher to be used at public or private schools.
Four school board seats in Orange and two in Santa Ana will be decided. The only city council race is in Irvine, where one seat will be filled.
In Newport Beach, residents will vote on Measure A, a proposal to raise $68 million for the purchase of three bay-view parcels from the Irvine Co. that otherwise would be developed.
Voters will also decide seats on the Santa Margarita and Los Alisos water districts.
Polls open at 7 a.m.; close at 8 p.m.
