Voter Registration
Registering to vote is key to participating in democracy, allowing you to influence policies and choose leaders at all levels of government. Keeping your voter registration updated is equally important—changes in your address, name, or political affiliation can impact your eligibility to vote and the accuracy of voter rolls. By updating your registration, you help maintain a reliable voting system and ensure you receive important information for a smoother voting experience.
Voter Education
Voter education is vital for a healthy democracy, providing citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed choices during elections. It helps voters understand the electoral process, the candidates' platforms, and the impact of ballot measures. This reduces misinformation and fosters more thoughtful participation in the political process. Informed voters are more likely to turn out to vote and hold elected officials accountable, strengthening the democratic system. Ultimately, voter education empowers people to shape their communities and the nation with informed decisions.
Other Resources
People and local governments can suggest ideas (propositions) for a vote. To officially put a proposition on the ballot, a certain number of signatures on a petition is needed, submitted to the right office.
If a proposition starts with a 400 number, it's about local matters. These often let voters decide on things like raising local sales taxes, school bonds, or city budget issues. Because these propositions are local, people in different areas see different questions on their ballots. For example, a school bond vote for one district won't be on the ballot for someone in another district.
