A YES vote means

A yes vote requires countywide voter approval before county land rule changes allow new or larger shore sites serving offshore oil, gas, or deep-sea mining.

A NO vote means

A no vote keeps the current voter approval rule for oil and gas support sites, without adding deep-sea mining.
