A majority of California voters are concerned that elected leaders reflect the diversity of the state's population, according to a new poll by the University of California, Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.
The online poll of 6,164 registered voters, conducted from July 20 to July 25, found that 55 percent of voters said it was"very important" for local elected officials to represent the diversity of their community, while 25 percent said it was"somewhat important."
Voters of color, especially Black voters, and women were likelier than others to express significant concerns, the IGS poll found. The poll also found that Californians support allowing non-citizen residents to vote in local school board elections, which is already in place in some places, such as San Francisco and Oakland.
