If you are struggling to understand measures or select candidates based on the information in your voter guide, here are some helpful resources.
MEASURES
Ballotpedia offers plain-language explanations of ballot measures. Enter your location and you will find a list of everything on your ballot along.
CANDIDATES
The League of Women Voters say that the first step in evaluating candidates is to decide what issues are important to you in your community (we could not agree more!) and also the leadership qualities you would like to see in a candidate. They offer a report card template you can use to compare candidates on issues and leadership qualities. We also appreciated this step by step guide for How To Decide Who To Vote For.
JUDICIAL CANDIDATES
These candidates are prohibited from discussing the very topics you want to hear them talk about! The Oregon Bar Association Judicial Candidate Voter Guide provides you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
