Voter ED Resources for Students
START HERE:
Voters Edge -- the League of Women Voters' voter education website, which includes information about races, candidates, and propositions/measures at all levels of government -- federal, state, and local
Other Non Partisan Ballot Information:
Ballotpedia -- the digital encyclopedia of American politics and elections
League of Women Voters of Palo Alto (LWVPA) Pros/Cons presentation -- a video of League experts describing the pros and cons of the 2018 ballot propositions
The Palo Alto City Council Forum -- a video recording of the event hosted by LWVPA
The Palo Alto School Board Forum -- a video recording of the event hosted by LWVPA
Partisan Sources of Ballot Information -- if you are personally aligned with a particular party or point of view, these lists of endorsements may be helpful.
California Progressive Voter Guide -- a useful table showing which progressive organizations support or oppose each of the ballot propositions. [Note, I was unable to find a similar table for conservative voters].
Newspaper Endorsements and Editorials -- Reading opinion pieces on both sides of a ballot proposition can be helpful in finding your own view. Newspapers also provide thoughtful written material in support of particular candidates for elected office.
