The staff of California Voter Foundation (CVF) has prepared the tenth edition of CVF's California Online Voter Guide, as well as a new site redesign. The site debuted on Thursday.
CVF's new California Online Voter Guide features in-depth information on California measures and contests, and gives links to official campaign Web sites. It also provides links to helpful online resources from CVF and other links about the election, including a "Voting Q&A," political district maps and contact information for county election offices.
Per CVF, California's 58 counties will use three different types of voting
systems in March:
o 32 counties, comprising 53 percent of California's registered
voters, will use paper-based, optical scan voting systems;
o 14 counties, comprising 6 percent of the state's voters, will use
the paper-based "Datavote" system;
o 12 counties, comprising 41 percent of the state's voters, will use
electronic balloting systems.
The site will soon show which counties will be using which systems, as well as a comparison map showing the change in voting systems since the October 2003 recall election.
