LEARN

There are several ways you can learn about candidates and ballot measures.

• Your County Sample Ballot provides the location of your polling place, polling place hours, who your local and state legislative candidates are, how to apply for an absentee ballot, and how to use the voting equipment in your county.
• The State Voter Information Guide provides the information you need to know about statewide candidates and ballot measures. An audio version is available for the visually impaired by calling 1-800-345-VOTE. The State Voter Information Guide is also available online at www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov.
• Cal-Access is an online tool which provides information on who is contributing campaign funds to support or oppose statewide candidates and ballot measures. Go online at www.cal-access.sos.ca.gov for more information.
• Talk with Family and Friends because the decisions you make in the voting booth are important and help keep our country strong.
