Activists petitioning to split California into six states
The authorities in the US state of California approved a proposed measure to divide California into six states, saying that the petition can start collecting signatures needed to get the issue on the November ballot.

Secretary of State Debra Bowen said that the measure needs the signatures of 807,615 registered California voters by July 14 in order to qualify for the state ballot.

The initiative was presented by venture capitalist Tim Draper, who had funded at least 400 companies.

Draper said "it is more and more difficult for Sacramento to keep up with the social issues from the various regions of California. With six Californias, people will be closer to their state governments and states can get a refresh." 

The proposed measure would divide California into six states, called Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California and South California.
