(FOX40.COM) — California voters will head to the polls on March 5 for the 2024 primary election.

In addition to the presidential race, there are plenty of other races and measures on the ballot across the state.

In the Sacramento area, there are nine key races of particular concern to residents.

Proposition 1

According to the Associated Press, Prop 1 would “allow the state to borrow $6.38 billion for 11,150 new treatment beds, housing and 26,700 outpatient treatment slots to serve up to 100,000 people a year.” The measure also changes how counties pay for mental health services.
