"Introduction to California's Ballot Measures"
now online at www.calvoter.org
Nonpartisan group's analysis helps voters understand
propositions
Sacramento, CA -- The California Voter Foundation (CVF) today released its nonpartisan
analysis of the eight measures on Tuesday's ballot. CVF's "Introduction to
California's Ballot Measures" is designed to give voters an unbiased and clear
overview of the eight state propositions and to help voters better understand their
choices and feel prepared to make informed, confident decisions. The analysis is
available at:
www.calvoter.org/2000/general/propositions/analysis.html
"Voters have a lot of important choices to make this election," said
Kim Alexander, the group's president and founder, who authored the analysis. "We
produced this analysis so that voters can quickly understand what's at stake with
each measure and vote with confidence on November 7th," she added, noting that
CVF sought input from all the ballot measure campaigns before publishing its analysis
to help ensure fairness and accuracy.
CVF's "Introduction to California's Ballot Measures" is a companion to
the organization's California Online Voter Guide 2000, which covers 162 state and
federal contests in California, including the eight statewide propositions, the presidential
election, California's U.S. Senate race, 52 U.S. House contests, and 100 state legislative
races. The guide features contact information for proposition campaigns and all 525
federal and state candidates on California's ballot as well as links to hundreds
of official campaign web sites. The guide also provides questions and answers about
voting, contact information for local election agencies, and links to live election
returns online and other election resources recommended by CVF.
The California Voter Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization funded by
tax-exempt contributions from foundations, businesses and individuals. For more information,
