The League of Women Voters will help you cast an informed ballot! 
To prepare for each election,
  • START HERE:  Voter's Edge California - your one-stop shop for in-depth, nonpartisan information about candidates, ballot propositions and local ballot measures, including campaign funding information and a high quality Spanish translation for State and Federal races.
  • ATTEND Candidate Forums by Zoom - LWV of Palo Alto cosponsored Zoom candidate forums for seven different 2020 races. 
  • ATTEND Zoom Pros & Cons events - LWV of Palo Alto sponsored multiple Zoom events to discuss and answer questions about ballot propositions and local measures in 2020.  
  • READ: Our League's Voter Guide (which includes information about both state and local propositions and measures) or the EZ Voter Guide (which is simpler, is available in five languages, and includes only state propositions)
