About the California Voter Foundation
The California Voter Foundation (CVF) is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization applying new technologies to provide the public with free, timely and convenient access to the information needed to participate in public life in a meaningful way. Since 1994, CVF has produced and published a "one-stop-shop" Internet source for California voters.

About the California Online Voter Guide
The 1998 General Election California Online Voter Guide is the fifth edition of CVF's statewide Internet voter guide, covering statewide races, ballot measures, and legislative and congressional races. This guide provides quick access to vital information and links in a useful, time-saving format -- an essential bookmark for any online voter or journalist.
CVF is grateful to the many organizations and people who helped make this guide possible. District profiles were compiled by UC Davis students through a partnership with CVF and the Department of Political Science and the UC Davis SunTREC lab. District maps appear courtesy of the Institute for Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley. The Guide to Judicial Elections was produced in cooperation with the University of California at Davis and the League of Women Voters of California, who also provided the summary and pro/con information on ballot measures.
Statewide candidate material and top priorities were provided directly by the candidates, in response to CVF's questionnaire. Legislative, congressional and Board of Equalization candidate contact information was obtained from the Secretary of State's Certified List of Candidates, and directly by the candidates in response to requests from CVF.
Candidates in this site are featured alphabetically within each party. Parties are listed in the order they appear in the Certified List of Candidates.
The California Voter Foundation's voter education and Internet disclosure efforts are made possible through generous financial support from the following organizations:
