About Our Coverage

Our goal is to provide the best nonpartisan information about all contests on your ballot to help you make an informed decision.

All candidates in participating counties in California are offered free web space to help inform voters.

We list the contests in an election and open our system for candidate input no sooner than about one week after the elections offices have finalized their official list of contests and ballot measures.

Candidates may change their web pages until 24 hours before the polls close.

Have questions or comments for us? Check our "FAQs for Voters" or send us a feedback. We'd love to hear from you. We try to answer all email promptly.

The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose candidates for public office or political parties.
The League of Women Voters Education Fund works to encourage the active and informed participation of citizens in government and to increase understanding of major public policy issues.
