Tuesday’s election is just around the corner, and we want to remind you that your voice is powerful. Your voice is needed.  The League is here to provide comprehensive election information. Below are resources to share widely! 

• Easy Voter Guide - Unbiased publication for new and busy voters, providing important information about voting and the state ballot measures. The Easy Voter Guide, available in 5 languages, is community reviewed to ensure the information is easy to understand.

• Pros & Cons  - A detailed, unbiased overview of the state-level ballot measures, along with the arguments for and against so you can weigh the arguments and make informed decisions about issues that impact you when you vote.  Prefer to see short videos to learn?  Check out our quick ballot measure explainers and share them with your friends and family!

• Voter’s Edge - Comprehensive, nonpartisan online guide to candidates covering federal, state, and local races in California. You can also learn about ballot measures, find your polling place, and more. Voter’s Edge is the gold standard in online voter information and the only one that offers campaign finance data so you can follow the money. In 2020, Voter's Edge reached 2 million voters - and we are thrilled about our new partnerships this year with the Los Angeles Times and Public Media, allowing us to reach even more Californians!

• Voter Bill of Rights - Makes your voting rights easy to understand and is available in multiple languages. The Bill of Rights was rewritten several years ago in plain language in a collaboration among the League of Women Voters of California, the California Secretary of State, and the Center for Civic Design.

• Lyft to the polls - On Nov 8th, Election Day, Lyft has partnered with us to provide discounted rides to the polls. Use code VOTE22 to claim up to 50% off your ride (good for up to $10, and valid for car, bike, and scooter rides).

• More Voter Resources - The Secretary of State offers many helpful guides for all voters, like the:
  • Voters with Medical Emergencies Fact Sheet
