Following is a list of websites that we have found helpful to navigate through the complexities of our voting system. Many of them provide downloadable voter registration forms and absentee ballot applications; some are geared toward women or younger voters; a few provide information about candidates, ballot measures, and issues; and a few provide information about your voting rights and provisional ballots. It is by no means a comprehensive list but it should have everything you need to get you to the polls and voting November 2!
