With 11 measures on the Nov. 6 state ballot, California residents have until Tuesday if they want to submit pro or con arguments to be used in the state voter guide.

State voters will have a wide variety of issues to decide on the ballot, including whether to repeal the death penalty and whether to require special labeling of food from genetically altered sources. The ballot also includes proposals by Gov. Jerry Brown and others to raise taxes.
