New web resources from the California Voter Foundation
March 27, 2006
Hi Folks,
The California Voter Foundation has added some exciting new resources in recent weeks to our web site at http://www.calvoter.org:
* 2006 Primary Election Preview
CVF's comprehensive, nonpartisan 2006 California Online Voter Guide will
debut in early April 2006; in the meantime we invite you to take a look at
our Election Preview pages, featuring preliminary information about each
of the two statewide propositions, links to statewide candidate web sites,
and an FAQ section covering election basics. CVF's new online voter guide
will feature information about all June 2006 primary election propositions
and candidates for congressional, state legislative, and statewide constitutional
office.
* California's Manual Count Law
This new web page focuses on California's manual count law, which is designed
to ensure that the public can verify the accuracy of computerized vote counts.
CVF is frequently asked to explain the manual count law, so we created this
page to help people better understand it. The page features background information,
the text of the law, seven steps to a meaningful manual count, and links
to places where more information about manual counts and public verification
of software vote counts can be found.
* Directory of California Ballot Measures since 1994
Californians have voted on more than 125 statewide ballot measures since
1994, when CVF began providing online information about California elections.
CVF's new online directory includes the number and title of each measure,
the year it was considered by voters, and whether it passed or failed. The
directory also links to CVF's archived California Online Voter Guide page
for each measure, and to campaign finance summary information where available.
This new page is designed to help the public dig deeper into the world of
California campaign finance data by summarizing available state and federal
resources and providing tips for locating various types of campaign finance
records. The page connects site users to California campaign finance filings,
filings by candidates for federal office, information about campaign contribution
and expenditure limits, and CVF-compiled lists of top contributors to California
candidates and proposition campaigns since 1998.
A complete archive of CVF President Kim Alexander's blog is now available
through an "Archives" link on the blog's main page and makes it
much easier to locate a particular blog entry from among the more than 400
that Kim has posted since she began the blog in 2003. Use your computer's "find
command" to search the Archives page or simply browse through the chronological
headlines.
Take a peek and let us know what you think!
