This weekend, Stockton came together for Día de los Muertos celebrations downtown and in Yosemite Street Village, complete with a Catrina pageant and altars honoring loved ones. Lodi also hosted the annual Sandhill Crane Festival, featuring presentations, workshops, and tours celebrating the cranes for the 26th year.

But this week, it’s all eyes on Election Day. Today’s special Election Edition newsletter rounds up our elections coverage so it’s easy to find the information you need as you fill out your ballot or prepare to head to the polls.
