Voter Education Resources
Voter education resources help people prepare to vote by explaining what is on the ballot and where to find reliable information. They include official sample ballots, voter information booklets, candidate and measure summaries, and tools from election offices, libraries, and nonpartisan groups. Election offices publish the official details, while outside organizations add background and comparison.
People usually ask how to see what will be on their ballot, how to research candidates for lower-profile offices such as judgeships, where to find trustworthy nonpartisan information, and how to learn about ballot measures before voting.
