Are you election ready? Review our voter info and recommendations
It can be hard for busy citizens to keep up with candidates and issues during election cycles. Here you can review LWV of Alameda's voter information and recommendations to help you get election ready. See our California Voter FAQs & How to Vote Section and our California Voter Resources Section below.
The best and easiest way to prepare yourself for Election Day is the Easy Voter Guide from the League of Women Voters. Use it to review the process of voting, what you should know, and what you will be voting on. This is a critical voting year, so you will want to be prepared to register (if you have not yet registered, or if you have moved or changed your name) and vote. The guide is very informative and concise, and is published in multiple languages.
Another way to prepare yourself for Election Day is to visit the Voter's Edge California website, where you can find your assigned polling place, and see who and what is on your ballot, and more.
