Susan Hough and Michael Lusk of the
League of Women Voters Education Fund were here at Central Park Library Tuesday night with nonpartisan, educational information on the June 5, 2012, election. Voters will make candidate choices for the November election which includes selecting a new U.S. President and many other offices. This election is the first that chooses the top two primary winners in many offices. Two candidates from the same political party could be running for the same office in November. Read more at
cavotes.org.
Check the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters to see if you are
registered to vote. You have until Monday, May 21, 2012, to register.
Learn how to evaluate ballot measures in
this article which includes a link to the Secretary of State's
Cal-Access site which tells who is financing candidates and issues and how much money is being spent.
Attend
local candidate forums (or if you live closer to San Jose these
candidate forums) so you know who is going to represent you either in the legislature or in judicial office. Read about the election in the
Easy Voter Guide. Visit
SmartVoter.org to see which district you are in and who is running.
