The Nov. 6 ballot contains a potentially confusing situation for Lopez and Orcas voters in the form of multiple Proposition No. 1s.

Lopez voters will be presented with San Juan County Proposition No. 1, which addresses charter amendments to reduce the number of council members from six to three, and Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Proposition No. 1, which concerns the one-year levy to fund Lopez Solid Waste disposal activities. Orcas voters will also see two Proposition No. 1s on the ballot: the County Charter measure plus a school bond measure, Orcas Island School District #137 Proposition No. 1.
